It is of a political nature. Do you really want the military
taking a political position?
Back up your bus, Gus. He said absolutely nothing about the *military*
involving itself in politics here at home, so you can get off that horse
right now.
Given that the military is about
50% republican, 10% libertarian, and only 15% democrat (the other
25% are too young to have made up a political view but tend to be
socially conservative), are you really wanting the military to
have a larger role in politics?
Really? And pray tell where did you get these "statistics"? From Dan Rather,
maybe?
It has been wise to have a wall of separation between the
military and politics (much like the separation of church and
state).
Read your Clauswitz, especially the bit about war being an extension of
what...?
