Adolf Hitler attacked the U.S.A.; the result is we became the most mighty military machine. We attacked Viet Nam but withdrew in defeat. We proclaimed victory over Iraq from a battleship; did we improve that country more than we hurt it?

Our president said we would put no boots (armed soldiers) on the ground, but a week later Gen. Martin Dempsey, who leads the U.S.A. military, said if American lives are in danger he would want to send soldiers to rescue them.

Military can blow up.
We need to grow up.
People need bread
More than bombs.
