These people are not to be trifled with. There is no possible argument for the lack of solidity of the US military.
Suicides, friendly fire, jet jocks high on amphetamines, poor training, some 72% wish to return to the US without delay, though sadly some 46% of these, despite the overwhelming outed vetted proof the contrary, still believe Hussein had some complicity in 911.
Given the fact that the Russians are taking preemptive measures to bring all of their military assets on line, oh!, and by the way, the situation with the "junkyard, disorganized" state of the Russian Military was and is, largely US Government fabrication.
One should keep in mind how little the US has done to assist the Soviet Union out of it's financial woes when the "Cold War" ended.
Many promises were made by the Reagan people, most of which are in the White House now, and broken one and all. We should remember though, the Russians have far more nuclear weapons, better nuclear weapons than the US.
Further, they have huge quantities of chemical and biological weapons, and the systems to deliver them
I'd suggest American's think about this, but I know they won't.
