Look - I am a peacful guy, but I am a student of history and especially war. We humans love it. We're quite good at it. It sucks. That being said I really firmly believe that the more you prepare for war the less you fight it.
And America had a pretty good balance with it...volunteer army, and so forth...America has fielded some of the best armies in the history of the world inthe last 50 years - and a few shitty ones as well...
That said, it's always those who aren't prepared for war, or haven't experienced it that cause it and create the most turbulent bloody messes of it.
Think about whose calling for the war in iraq now - chickenhawks the lot of them - all "I had other priorities that last time there was shooting going on"...all the real warriors are far more cautious and humane in their assessment and execution of war.
Violence in the hands of someone who is unaware of all the ways it can go arwy is a dangerous thing..and that's what we got in the Bushies/neocons...
