El Presidente doesn't give diddly when it comes to the U.S. Military. 
They're to be used and abused according to his philosophy. We now have 
military personnel working in a meals on wheels program in Bosnia. 
It's the same idiotic and self centered mentality that I've seen as a cop 
from some members of the public. You know the philosophy: "You're getting 
PAID to be shot at and / or killed." "It's your job." IOW, "I certainly 
wouldn't be willing to do it but since you are willing then you accept ALL 
of the risks I expect you to take on my behalf even if they're unreasonable 
and suicidal."
