6. the U.S. is the only military in the world capable of doing the greatest GOOD (caveat: without re-training/vision, probably the greatest EVIL).? the U.S. military along w/ diplomats, students, volunteers, the media, etc. now have the responsibility to bring the FREE flow of everything (goods, ideas, education, people, etc. etc.) to EVERYONE else.


* re-train the military, so that every soldier starts thinking more like a police officer (i.e. fairness, knowledge of culture, be able to balance violence and compassion, diplomacy, information gathering w/ in the constitutional framework~consensual, resonable suspicion, probable cause, etc.)

The purpose of the U.S. military is not to provide services like a police officer, that is what the police is for.? Your VISION comment is rather funny too; they are THE MILITARY man!? They locate, close with and DESTROY the enemy!? Yes, they have training on how to proffesionally deal with situations they wouldn't normally see in combat, i.e. policing a civilian population.? I find the "be able to balance violence and compasison," OFFENSIVE!? the U.S. media doesn't report ANY good that the our armed forces do for the civilians in AF or IQ.? Here is something for ya; did you read about the little girl a squad of Rangers saved from a mine field when they dropped a couple of 20" ladders through the minefield so they had a safe path to walk on?? No you didn't, that was showing something good we did, btw the little girl lived, my brother was able to stop the bleeding.? ?
