It's kinda like when people say don't complain if you didn't vote. If someone is unwilling to serve selflessly they really shouldn't complain about how weak we are and disparage "Generation Snowflake" when it is that generation who is serving overseas this very minute and have done more for their country than the person sitting in the comfort of their home posting disparaging remarks about their generation on the internet.
That type of irony makes me roll with laughter.
Now that the military is significantly less involved in Iraq, we are actually better positioned strategically to respond to other threats across the globe. While we were commited simultaneously in Afghanistan and Iraq, a third country (like North Korea for instance) could have done almost anything they wanted and there would have been very little we could have done about it.
You don't have any idea what rules and limits the military has. Our ROE (rules of engagement for the military acronym challenged) allowed us to engage if we saw someone talking on a cellphone and had reason to believe they were reporting our position for an attack.
Ofc you did.... You were probably accepted to Stanford as well but didn't want to be too far from home lol
