I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [CYBILL SHEPHERD hmmmmm] Defend the troops who are defending you OR die not tryiing

I don't agree with American troops stationed in any country anywhere in the world other than in the US (and I don't think we really need 6,000 of them here, either).  That is the posture of an empire, not a democracy. 

Your position on the way to deal with the depravity of US servicemen is interesting. I'm certain that if the US were illegally invaded by some other power, say Iraq, you'd love it if your daughters were servicing the invaders to put food on the table.

Maybe I shouldn't be sarcastic.  You just might like that.

Chalmers Johnson, a professor emeritus at UC San Diego and an Asia expert, says he believes that few Americans are even aware of the extent of the military's reach and the profound influence it is having on policymaking in this country and public opinion abroad.

Johnson says the Pentagon's calculation that it owns or rents 702 bases in about 130 countries -- over and above the 6,000 bases in the United States -- is a gross underestimate because it fails to include installations in such places as Kosovo and Bosnia, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan, and secret installations in Israel, Australia and England, among others.

"As distinct from other peoples, most Americans do not recognize -- or do not want to recognize -- that the United States dominates the world through its military power," Johnson wrote in a recent book, "The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic."

I fully agree with the troops wherever they are stationed, but as far as the sexual acts that happen, I dont only disagree, but the Military should have those kinds of ladies go over to these bases sometimes, and take care of the horny ones there, or give them housing where the military, male or female, can go and be taken care of. Where I was stationed, there were lots of women that would gladly go to bed with you, if money, it was very cheap. The men and women in the military dont get rich from their pay, so something needs to be done. No children involved either. 18 to 20 up, and they would know what they were expected to do.
