We fought a war we didn't want, We fought for an idea we belived in, not for
glory or riches, sometimes the poloticians betrayed us, but we still fought
for the idea symbolized by The Flag, We fought for that idea from 1776 to
2008 and We will fight for it in the future.

Read his post again. He's dissing the politicians, not the military. And
he's right. All too often we've gone to war to protect profits, not
freedom. Even in WWII ("The Last Good War") American companies (like IBM)
were continuing to sell to our enemies or to make exorbitant profits at
home.
