And of course US 'policing' is based upon altruistic motives, not national self interest.

 

There's that, and I don't think many deny it. Not even the USA.

If the alternative is anarchy, or worse global policeman, the current one might not be the worst option.

"Secondly US troops dont really know how to fight.  They just send these poor immature kids out stumbling around chewing gum and smoking dope until they draw enemy fire.  Then they just run and hide and wait for air support to fight their battle by turning the place into rubble.  Victory is then declared because of some ridiculous indicator like "body count"."

 

You're either in full-auto bash mode. Misinformed. Or living in the past.

Wouldn't know that the above was even applicable then, really doubt it relates to the present.

 

 

 

Who's misinformed?  Been living under a rock  have we, or are you Rip Van Winkle?

I think you and your post are.

The US Army of the present is not the US army of the past.

And even your representation of the past version is questionable.

$50k to fly a drone an hour?  You are so off base on that one. Can you please state your source that says sanctions do as you claim?  Besides, if true, it is the Iranian Govt. that is killing them as they fail to be the good people in the first place. If they would stop with their threats to Israel and to the US and become the decent hearted people they should be, all of the sanctions will go away.  Their choice, but to take the easy way out as you wish by not putting sanctions is condoning their behavior on the world front.  The only other option is all out war to spread a message and surely you don't want this.............do you?  OR do you think we should just allow Iran to spend over a billion a year funding terror groups and threatening Israel and the US?  As an American, I'm tired of playing the role of the world police in the first place.  Who funds all of these wars?  The US taxpayers.  And what do we get in return? Not a damn thing yet the world doesn't care too much for the US now do they. They should be grateful WE keep the world as safe as we can. 

You could always vote out the warmongering US politicians at the next election, starting with Trump who si the root cause of most problems that the USA has faced over the last 2 years.
