Absolute belief in the American military's right to do as they please is one of the great blights on this world.

24+ years in America’s military would hardly be blind nationalism. So your stance is that the U.S. should go back to isolationism? Countries, regardless if party to chemical weapons bans should be free to carry out gas attacks against their own people and against international norms? Can’t imagine what a stand up country and populace that would be. If we butt out, maybe Syria wil cease to exist in another 7 years. Generational purge complete and problem solved huh?

No? Military experience alone wouldn't be evidence of your objectivity when it comes to the US military and their affairs abroad.  

Yeah America ideally would stop invading foreign territory , stopping meddling in the democratic affairs of other countries, stop killing civilians abroad , stop playing god , end/limit Americas military-industry complex. Not going to happen but ideally it would. 

You need to stop pretending that everything the US does abroad is noble and ultimately for a good cause.

You talk as if it's exclusively America pushing this agenda when the UK and France are pushing as hard or harder.

Ah yes, innocent little America abroad. Those bold boys UK and France made them do it! 

I don't agree with the UK or France at all. Quite the contrary in fact.
