Making a thread like this simply to disrespect those men and women who do believe in democracy and are willing to put it all on the line has no merit. Like it or not the world hasn't evolved to the point where we don't need a strong military.

That don't have a government? Not sure what that has to do with anything, I'm not saying we shouldn't have a government, but many nations around the world don't participate in wars and they do perfectly fine.
It is not the place of the United States to go in and tell other people what they can and can't do. You have no right being in Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other place in the world - at least just as much a right as the terrorists have to live in the US.
In case you haven't noticed, the United States spends almost as much as the rest of the world combined on their military. Why do you guys feel like you need this huge military and are always under attack while other countries live better than you guys do, don't have a military, are happier, healthier, and better educated than you guys are and they aren't always out killing people 'just because'.
The United States doesn't give two shits about democracy. All it cares about is getting what they want - no matter what it takes; even if that means slaughtering innocent women and children.
