No, I don’t get your point at all.
I have two honorable discharges and my son has one and my dad had one, and my brothers and step brother all have one.
All of us except my dad served to protect this countries from Russia primarily, as Americans, a member of the NATO alliance to defend us and our allies and the world from Russia.
Right now Russia is invading Ukraine to enslave them forever and to move their Army right up to NATO borders and better their strategic position, as they try to rebuild themselves to become the threat again, that they were just a few years ago.
Rebuilding the evil empire isn’t something to ignore and allow to happen.
In all fairness, if an army is to a nation as a knife is to a man, then sharpening your knife inclines you to test the edge. Meaning that your military leanings incline you towards action, right or wrong. The military does the job when diplomacy fails, and our military is superb. But we must be careful how to use it, just as we men don't use our knives to cut another's meat. This is not our fight, out continent, or our country that is in danger.
The USSR had a stated policy of defeating the United States of America, Russia does not.
Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but it is accepting volunteers up to the age of sixty—
