The FACT that YOU can SAY that WE are charging those who commit such atrocities with CRIMES just SHOWS we are NOT "Like Them".

I'd rather have paid mercenaries than have to have a draft in the next few years.

I believe you are wrong. We need to "redeploy" the Troops we have already deployed around the World.
We also need to "train" our own Troops to be able to do better than "mercenaries" could do, but we are already very close in that regard anyway.
Take a look at the comparative Death Tolls for each side, and you see factors of anywhere from 5 to 20 to 1, which is as good as any mercenary force has ever done on that high end.
Perhaps we should PAY our Soldiers more and train them in some "new" tactics that we start ALLOWING them to do when facing an enemy that does NOT recognize Geneva Convention Rules of engagement?
Loony Liberals don't get to have it BOTH ways do they? They don't get to (*)(*)(*)(*) and moan about our tactics, while suggesting we use tactics that are to become 'just like them', do they?
We have a Military for a reason, just as we have a CIA and the like. Perhaps it is time we "loosened up" their "Rules" they work under in order to do a better job?
