[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 848530, member: 22662"] I see your point to a certain degree. But in a representative government such as ours, "the governmant can force you to fight" but only so long as the populace remains with them. In the wars we are engaged in right now, the public is disconnected and the "bring 'em home" calls are cerebral at best. The general public shares no burden other than "how much is this costing?" Would we be in these aggressive wars today if George Bush had to convince the public that all of our sons and daughters needed to be sent to far off, dangerous lands to "defend freedom"? At the very least, there would have been far more in depth questioning and the ever-shifting rationale for war would have been scrutinized. [/QUOTE]
