Les, One thing that really bothers me is that these endless humanitarian missions are starting to really drain our resources, sap the strength of those in uniform, and weaken our foreign policy abroad. We have been pinned down all over the world. Furthermore, there are about 40 or 50 more "crisis" that we could respond to right now if Clinton really wanted to turn the United States military into a humanitarian aid group. I can certainly see the purpose of fighting wars with everything we have if the goal is for national security or interest. But these humanitarian wars are just absurd. -John
