    This pic just dropped into the inbox. Notice the black patch on the arm and the flags below it.

    SO TRUE!

    The stars in the US flag aren't on the left?

    How can you blame those countries for not wanting their soldiers to die for a cause they don't believe in?

    But it's true, unfortunately. I'm glad the French flag is there. They haven't won a war in 100 years. And it's sad we have to do all the work for them.

    I think flags on uniforms are on the opposite side aren't they? Here's another like that (harder to see though):

    Lorien: No, I think they're on that side... my friend is in the national guard, and it's on the right side.

    By the way, just a cool bit of info, the flag is backwards to show advancement forward, as if they were carring the flag.... it flies backwards. It shows forward advancement.

    Does anyone really "win" a war?

    Yes.

    All military contractors "win" when we go to war.

    Heck yeah, whoever kills more people wins the war :)

    Just kidding, it's whoever DOESN'T surrender or whoever ISN'T run-through by the opposing forces.

    War isn't solve everything.... war only remain hate and death! Remember that Jesus teach us to forgive our enemy and keep in peace among others. LOVE... that's the simple words from Elohim that must be done!

    There has not been an official "war" since World War II - every military conflict since has been undertaken by a President that has circumvented the constitutional REQUIREMENT for Congress to declare an act of war.

    I think I read recently that the US alone defense expenditures are roughly twice that of all countries in Nato
