As much weight as this post has, there are some things that aren't accounted for. The statistics on the suicide rates were interesting, and definitely gave me a new perspective on things... but due to the turmoil we have caused in some of those countries, it is our responsibility to clean up the mess. That being said, going in and destroying things in the way that we do are not a step in the right direction. We need to be more responsible with our resources and the lives of the individuals in our military, but to say the entire military is a blind leading the blind for the purpose of perpetuating a war machine, I just don't believe are true. We have military forces that are tasked with defending the nation and assisting the masses foreign and domestic when it comes to natural disasters and other crises.

Thank you for posting this though, as it was a very informative piece that stands to at the very least get people discussing the controversial points of this topic. !
