No, I consider them to be the Defenders of the Country. Their jobs have far more value than several members of congress I could name. If I could be sure that no further terrorist attacks would come from the Middle East I wouldn't mind withdrawing, but the odds are against that.

No. Military is about the only thing the Federal Government should spend money on.
Until we get energy independent here, we have to stay in the Middle East.

In my country they are considered state workers and are covered by the same union as all other government employees.
Of course, we only use our military to harass fishing boats and do search and rescue missions, oh and clean up after you in Afghanistan.

Believe me, we could trim some serious military fat and still stay in the Middle East. I see waste every day here.

We should defend our own borders first. Which means Illegals and Libs, both that are dangers to America, need to be sent packing. That includes our Anti-American President and his supporters.
