Why is the bashing of the military in this conversation accepted without a second thought? The armed forces have had a rough time of it the last few years, but many servicepeople find the military incredibly rewarding. There's a reason why those retired guys wear military caps that they earned when they were 25.
- DannoHung 18y agoAmerican engagement in recent conflicts has been enormously unpopular. There is a sense that the Armed Forces no longer serve to protect and defend America, her peoples and her ideals, but the political and economic aspirations of a very few. If trust in the government and its goals can be restored, then a belief that the Armed Forces are an honorable and worthwhile avenue of service will also be restored.
