Once more off topic...
People I'm just a soldier/servant of my nation, one of a very long line. I don't make policy, I just enforce it. I never said we didn't have our faults, that the US was perfect. Maybe some of what Commando just said is true. But that's mostly out of the average Americans hands to change. Actually, we can make changes if need be, but are unlikely to do so until a situation becomes problematic for US. And right now such a situation exists... the American people feel threatened, and world opinion seems a bit threatening as well...
When we feel this way, we shift into a higher gear, and take the fight to our enemy. That's who we've attacked, will continue to attack, and eventually will destroy. And woe be to anyone, or anything that gets in our way.
(And Commando, we lead the world in the effort to colonize space. We'll also lead when it comes time to defend space, as well.) "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave"
Now, can we just drop this and get back to the matter at hand?
