Might be some wholesome, ill informed young kids in the military, they don't need to be treated like it was Vietnam, but they do make a choice. Nobody goes in not undertanding they are signing up to kill someone else for their government. Taking on that responsibility means, you have a duty to be somewhat educated.
If nobody would sign up, maybe your government would be more responsible with your dollars and young lives. ? [Probably not, but it might be a start.]

QFT. US leadership, if you can call it that are at a Money Making Buffet (D.C.) Wars mean profit. Its been like that since forever. My peeps have been fighting/starting wars in US since 1711. Every war or conflict has been about making the rich, richer. The rich have a way of inciting/forcing the masses who tend not to pay attention. In the 60's, the Ellsberg papers should have started a revolution. Nobody cared.
