I am not sure who exactly wrote this last clip of info flaming the US 
armed forces, but being a member of the Air Force I feel obligated to 
respond.  

Consider this : I do solemny swear to support and defend the Constitution 
of the United States, against all enemies foreign and domestic. . .

That is the beginning of the oath EVERY servicemen, enlisted or officer, 
takes upon entering the military.  It's our JOB to defend human rights.  
If you (refering to the person writing this) have a problem with this, 
emigrate.

Now if you did not intend that clip to come off the way it sounded, I 
apologize, but the way it was worded, I found pretty insulting.
