<trying to undermine their mission..>

Their mission is to defend the U.S.
Notice the word "defend".
We used to call it the War Department.
Now it's called the Defense Department.
I, and many, many other people, think that our war on Iraq,
has nothing to do with defense,
and worsens the National Security,
and is a HeartsAndMinds defeat for us, in the War On Terror.
We think that imperialism, colonialism, offensive wars of aggression,
the whole doctrine of Preventive War,
all this is not the mission of the U.S. Army.
So, I support the mission of the U.S. Army.
Defense.
Using the dictionary, not the NeoCon, definition of that word.

Hawk...do you have a link for the total numbers of troops in each Country in the world? I'm still stunned to see that Canada ---the whole of Canada-- has only 20,000 troops.

It's no wonder that the UN can't get enough troops gathered together to go quell the mass murders of millions in Africa.
