This idea that there is something noble about war is baffling...
Grunts die in the mud and the sand - and they are just kids mostly - that is the honor of war
We continue to glorify and celebrate war
America = World Police

Your kids may not play Call of Duty, but millions in this country do. Not that I'm opposed to it, but if that isn't glorifying war, I don't know what is. :?

Obama has forced 2 countries to change governments, Lybia and Egypt, with very little American blood lost. Syria is on the verge, 1 more term and Iran will fall.

True, but the aliens were the bad guys, piracy is hard for the average american kid to get into these days and typically unneccessary, and magic isn't real. :?
