Dave_Id, The history books prove what your saying. A lot of the causes of WWII were because of the expansionism policies of the U.S.. Somebody in political office is/was getting rich off every war.
I support our troops, but I don't have to like the reasons we're over there. Whether you'll like it or not, some of you'll might be alive today because of the protesters. Nixon ended the war because of pressures from home.
What I've noticed through time is the soldiers' fight is more personal. He is doing it because it's his job but more so to get his buddies back. When they interviewed the injured soldiers, some with half their face gone or missing limbs, they wanted to get back in battle, not because of God and country, but because they didn't want to let their buddies down.
