Scott,

Correct however who is ready to have surgery done by a plumber? Television repairman fixing your 911? The gardner wiring your house?

Its called experience for a very good reason. Anything important in this world and our lives deserves experience.

We can have all the people logging onto the forum possible, but why is it that the majority of the people with experience in this area posting on this thread support one view, and largely not being listened to, and the rest of the people (and one of them is not even living in America, and not an American) support a different view.

One would think that unless they wanted the plumber to start preforming surgery on people, that the smarter people in this word would listen to the experienced military people. Its sure not being done on this forum most of the time.

I have lived in 6 countries in my short life and hope to live in 1 or 2 more before "heading West." I just get tired of so many people who do not live in America ranting and raving about how bad it is, how we are the worst country in the world and such. Also, why are so many people dying every day trying to get into such a terrible country?

Strongly agree with your last statement. Problem is that the vast majority of Americans have never been futher than 200 miles away from where they were born, which is a shame.
