you mean something like... it's job? the US military excels at the tasks they are supposed to complete - blow shit up and kill people. it's just when the politicians and those types get involved in things that the military starts looking bad.

I think one reason there so little grassroots UK support for Israel's response to Hezbullah is there's so few Brits alive today who remeber the Blitz.

They were kinda happy to see "your military" at the time, too.

When I was at Greenwich, I was looking at the statue of General Wolfe near the Observatory...and noted that the pedastal and steps leading up to it seemed to have been damaged, as if someone had taken a sledge to it randomly...but only on one side. Then it hit me: that statue was erected in 1930...and that what I was seeing was blast damage from the Blitz.

This was a couple days after the one year anniversary of the last London bombing by fascists.
