And as an ex-military person I can tell you that the minority of troops support these mis-adventures. We made that mistake in Somalia. We are not the worlds policeman. We don't want to be in Iraq, but we are, not much we can do to change that as soldiers. Being in the middle of a civil war is the last place we want to be and both of your examples are extremes of that. Screw Darfur and screw the Israeli-palestinians conflict.
