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.

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.

When your privy to information that most aren’t and understand the intricacies of how these types of mission are formulated you’d understand how naive and general your comments are. America isn’t perfect but when you have the resources and ability should you not take a from the front role? You act as though the military is just itching to go an attack someone regardless of life. We are human beings that just so happen to have a profession that is largely seen as the nations security. The piece you don’t see or hear about is that we are by and large global humanitarians first. We are all over the world providing healthcare, food, water, shelter, infrastructure, nation building, etc. 

I don’t NEED to stop anything. Must suck going through life looking at the negative and bad in everything, like someone is out to get you. If you can’t find the good and necessary in this action, perhaps you should reevaluate life choices and thoughts on humanity.

So just to clarify, the US has never spread misinformation to invent reasons to attack foreign territories?  

My issue is with US foreign policy and it's industrial-military complex. I'm sure there are tons of great soliders and I know a handful personally. I am also completely fine with the US military acting as humanitarians providing help like you outline. Let's not pretend that's the sole aim of US foreign policy though. For a more even debate I'd ask you what do you consider to be bad things the US does abroad, what events have you disagreed with? 

Please miss me on your appeal to humanity because on my critiques of the US foreign policy. It's as ironic as it is pathetic.
