I think you missed the point.

Nope I understood what you meant, I just don't see that
happening in the US during my life time.


Hopefully not. We shall see.


You understood my point though.


Unfortunately, I do.

I understood your "clash of social class" but the fact that
they sat there like snotty rich snobs and complained about
the noise of death & mayhem during a civil war, that
would **** me off more. Your there to help them, protect
them, make their country a better place, putting you're
life on the line for them, they don't raise a hand to help
you or themselves.................. F#@k them!


Re-read your history books: The US and several other UN nations were
there to keep Israel and Syria from starting WWIII in war-torn
Lebanon. If Lebanon's neighbors stayed behind their borders the US
would have let the civil war continue unabated because we had no
interest in that country.
