Dan, your post was very well put.

Juulie, I also disagree with you, but it is nothing to start a war over - bad joke.
The many rules we follow before we engage the enemy are very frustrating to me. We have the capability to give the non-combatants time to get out, destroy the enemy and then build their (whoever the enemy is at the time) area up again. This would probably cost the taxpayers less money overall and would definitely save more lives. IMHO, young men and women are killed because we play by the rules while our enemies do not. Another point I would like you to consider, although you probably already have, is the fact that without our military we would more than likely be under constant attack and/or not have the freedoms we enjoy today.
