I agree with you to a point FRPLG. We are a spineless society, in that we have fought a war with the children of the poor and paid for it with money borrowed from China. Had we been asked to make any sacrifices at any point I have a feeling the American people would have rejected this war. Not for any principled reason, but just because they don't like sacrifices. Now with an economy spiraling into recession, a depleted army, and a 3 billion dollar per day bill we can no longer afford to float, lets see how many people will be willing to actually make sacrifices to pay for this war effort. I'm guessing not many.
