Why we need to leave Afghanistan Iraq and Syria

Being as I don't agree with 99% of what our military does, I don't see a reason valuable enough to respect ANY person who voluntarily joins the US military, especially those who do it for "free education".

so, I don't understand your reply. He's advocating we get out of the Middle East. He said his perspective changed after being there. As far as I can tell, you two are in agreement over that. Maybe you don't agree with him joining the service but that's not what he was advocating.

I do agree with him. Not only on the countries that he listed, but every country that we stick our fat noses into.

Short of our country being under direct attack, I just cannot come up with one good reason why any smart, sane person would join the American military gang.

True, this

We should put the defense back into our national defense.

Special interest bullies, pawns, and repub-approved mercenaries seem to be the order of the day. The 'united front' mentality that existed during WWII is a thing of the past.
Who needs sincere, 'heroic acts' when we can just recruit heaps of bored/directionless red state kids via brainwashing and recruitment ads that make the US Military Complex seem like a friggin video game?

Uh, yeahhhhh......
