It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...
Quote:first i'm going to say that i don't know what the undeclared intentions are. From what i gather from the news we(The U.S.) are in iraq and afganistan to stop terrorisim,eliminate weapon's of mass destruction,and restore iraq's government to it's people. wich in turn is kinda funny since appearently we invaded iraq in the first place on false information. big thumbs up for idiot bush.
What are the overall aims of the US military (declared and undeclared)?
Quote:to go in and hunt down members of al queda and other terrorist cells. also to stop insurgents who don't want the military to aid in the restoration of iraq's government to it's people.
What are the actions, as a group, of the US military (declared and undeclared)?
Quote:Yes and no. yes on the captureing al queda operatives and other terrorist orginizations and no on the bombing of iraq just to get one guy out of power. i think that was idiotic on bush's part to send our troops in to iraq in light of the information that the the original information was bogus.
Do these aim and actions fit with your framework of beliefs and ethics?
Quote:It's not what the military does it's what the president and senate send them to do. all the military is doing is what there nations leaders are telling them to do.
Of the aims and actions that don't fit, how integral are they to what the military does?
Quote:A lot. at heart i'm a [censored] hipee. I believe in peace,love and all that other tree hugging stuff,but all the stuff going on in iraq besides us rebuilding what we blew up and restoreing the government was a waste of time,money,men,women,children and resources. I'm all for getting rid of weapons of mass destruction but only if the information can be proven without a shadow of a doubt. i'm also all for the deconstruction of terrorist cells such as al queda.
How much will they impact on your own belief structure?

As an entirely non-neutral side note, I don't think the military is the only solution for you keeping your life on track.
