The recent article where Gates stated Obama lost faith in war is hopefully true. It is definitely clear the recent wars the U.S. was in have been wrong. Yes, perhaps we should acknowledge it is necessary for us to have the best military in the world, and I believe we do. There is no reason for the U.S. to impose ourselves upon other nations just for the sake of money and power of our rich. The original invasion of Kuwait could possibly be the soie exception, but please keep in mind we were the ones who encouraged the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam in the beginning. All for the dollar.
We may be entering another phase whereby the American Solder will loose faith in the U.S. because we are rapidly approaching the abandonment of the solder after he/she served. VA benefits are important, and should be encouraged not be a political pawn by politicians, or guess what we won't have the best Army in the World.
