Kind of rambling and meandering, but for the most part I agree, except for this section: Wars that are not heroic have no real heroes, except for the people who oppose those wars. Far from being the heroes of recent wars, American troops are among their victims. No rational person can blame the soldier, the Marine, the airman, or the Navy man for the stupid and destructive foreign policy of the U.S. government, but calling them heroes, and settling for nothing less, makes honest and critical conversations about American foreign policy less likely to happen. Except that its a volunteer military, and a volunteer police force. Ignorance in the face of information about what the government plans to use you for is no exoneration of guilt. Being too lazy to research why youre going somewhere to fight is pretty bad in and of itself, and if you sign up just to have legal license to murder or oppress another human being, then youre too f*cked up for that job in the first place. I do agree that none of these problems will be fixed as long as we keep giving lip service to and kissing the asses of any person who has ever served. They dont all deserve thanks, folks.
