Mike, you're 100% right in everything you say above. But my attitude now is: fuck 'em. No more Team America, World Police because the rest of the world simply doesn't appreciate what America does for 'em and at $1,000,000 per year per soldier it is just too bloody expensive. I think our attitude towards those societies, countries and dictators who do us harm or plan to do us harm is to bomb the hell out of 'em and continue to bomb the hell out of 'em until they mend their ways. But the POST-bombing period should NOT comprise going into a country and start restructuring everything. #1 it's not our business and #2 we simply can't afford it anymore. It's the part where we occupy a country AFTER a military operation that is the most expensive part. > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Bhairitu <noozg...@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thu, December 10, 2009 8:47:38 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Who says we can't pull out now? > > Â > We did in Vietnam and look what's happened there.
