World Wide Revolution???

There are alot of Countries around the world that are having revolts. We endorse and use our military in Libya. But in Iran and numerous other Countries we don't do jackShit. Libya was one of the more stable countries in that screwed up part of the world. We took Saddam out, looking for weapons we gave him. What is this country coming to. If you protest in this country you better be on the Left or your a crazy racist, right wing nut job.
Also whats the longest you have waited for VA medication?[Beer]

my 2 cents
i wouldn't consider myself a raciest but ill gladly take the title of right wing nut job . never joined so never had to deal with the va . i have spent about 4 years of my adult life on bases and the only extras i got were a lot of hand shakes , hugs , tears and more thanks then i could ever ask for . its a shame that service men and women fall over them selves to thank others but the general population seems to go out of its way to not thank them . imho there are 2 things that should be running smoothly at all times , the care for elderly and the care for military personnel .both are so screwed up its shameful . my 2 cents

I'm going to have to jump in and correct you just a little...
1) Obama, that's the short answer as to why we don't do jack in these other countries- that and we're already pretty well tasked out with Iraq and Afghanistan.
2) We never gave Saddam nerve gas, or any of the other weapons he had that we went in after him for.
3) I'm not exactly racist- but will be manly enough to admit I have some prejudices, and will take right winger (minus the nut job- perfectly sane over here).
4) 3 weeks. Snail mail sucks, but at least I only had to endure for less than a month, otherwise you would be able to say right wing nut job.

I don't know about that, we gave him everything else. We dug up 50cals that were better than ours. Personally,I think he got alot of stuff from us that we don't know about. Its like the Stingers we gave to the Taliban, great idea for the moment, but long term not so smart. Should have used Saddam to start another war with Iran.
Disclaimer: I was in 3rd ACR and our eqt. was very outdated.

I'll disagree there.

I'd put a Barrett up against an Iranian knockoff of a Steyr bolt action HS.50 any day of the week (hell, I'd put a Barrett up against a real Steyr).

As far as "World Wide Revolution" I wouldn't worry ... the world has been in a constant state of turmoil since we got kicked out of the garden ... we just have dozens of 24 hour cable news channels, broadband internet and HD cameras in cell phones all over the place now.
