Aha, PA., Penselvania right?, or is that Philidelphia?, Have i spelt either
of those state names correctly?, whenever i think of Philidelpia i always
think of "Street's of Philidelpia" by Bruce Springsteen, a great
song, and part of a great movie and a great movie soundtrack, i like both
good movies and good movie soundtrack.

WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq#1, Iraq#2, although it is not
so much what they do so much as how and why they do it and who else they
tend to bring in on there coattail's.

 > Remember, they are directed to do a job...


Yes but they would not be the first army to give there bosses the bird,
indeed some of there number have, infact some of the great songs of the
50's 60's and 70's have advocated doing that very thing and have been
written by people who have done that very thing.

And i do and have done, in both our country's, but i belive everybody
should take there share of responsability.

Which was when?.

No, and you probably had very little say on when how or whether you went
there, but you did have some.

I forgot about Grenada, Panama, and Irael,

Of course you dont.

Or yes even.

It is disrespectfull to even Think "Lets go to some whole in the wall
country to kick some butt..." on acount of it is Rude to call anYwhere
"A Hole In The Wall" or to assume you can just "Kick Some
Butt", so of course you would not say or think this, but some of your
Allies and Masters Do and Have.

 > I went because I was told to...


Aha, and?.

 > My job was to do what I was told to do.


Fair enough.
