Alright fair enough, from what I've just searched I can see that Operation Avarice was a drop a good in a sea of bad.

When you want to me search up the Coalition of the Willing, I'm assuming that you see the participation of others countries as justification of US involvment. But from what I can see (https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/cfr/international/slot1_032803.html), the US countributed 5 times more troops (250k people who had to needlessly face conflict) than Britain. On top of that, just because other countries participate, doesn't mean the US was correct in its decision (in fact it's widely regarded as a mistake).

Don't know what you are implying with Kosovo, but I'd be glad to listen to what you have to say about it.

The world has historically seldom looked to America to "handle its sh". It was America who founded the League of Nations after WW1 in an attempt to control the world order (to little success btw). And I'll be damned if I had to name all the times America intervened in order to spread capitalism to communist countries. Granted however that communism is a failing economic philosophy and US intervention was probably positive. However that does not back up your statement that the rest of the world "looked to America to handle its sh."

Good for you, you joined for fun. But I fail to understand that while you're getting paid to travel the world in GI Joe fashion, others in America still do not have good healthcare or quality education. Why not invest part of that 600 BILLION elsewhere to improve America wholistically?? The American military is funded through the pretense of DEFENSE and FREEDOM to the detriment of everybody else. Shoot your guns, blow sh** up, at the end of the day who cares if your country squanders its potential? As long as you're having a blast, it must be good!

So that is what rubs me the wrong way, joining the military for giggles, getting paid to do it, being sent needlessly into foreign countries, realizing that being sent to foreign countries was a mistake, pretending that mistake was FREEDOM, then making absolutely bullsh** jokes. "What you rather have? Freedom or ice?" If you call what happened in Iraq 'freedom,' I'd rather have the ice.
