    I don't get you Americans

    I was just watching CNN, Bush press conference concerning the Azia disaster.
    Bush is gonna send military guys upthere to help out.
    I don't get it, where do you people keep digging up that military personel? It seems like half your population is in the army. Is it so that everybody knows atleast 1 person in the army in the US? Can imagine it has to be, you guys have a HUGE army lol

          All Americans are in the Army.

              Total military personnel on September 30, 2003, was 1,434,377. This means that 17.6 percent of U.S. military forces were deployed on foreign soil at that time.. assume we sent another 8-10% to iraq/afghanistan we still have 75% or so of our troops at home. I think our military is at around 1.7 million people now, im not totally sure on that i couldnt find any recent numbers on it. China's army is at 2.5m (largest in the world)

If we did we'd look like elitist assholes and that'd turn even more of the world against us. We're one of the few countries who have the resources to help out in a major disaster like this, we're pretty much obligated

It seems like half your population is in the army. Is it so that everybody knows atleast 1 person in the army in the US? Can imagine it has to be, you guys have a HUGE army lol

One that required 10's of thousands of troops? Pull that many out of Iraq? Hmm

I'm not saying that it's bad though, if you guys wouldn't have done that in WWII i would have been under german dictatorship by now lol BUT don't you guys ever wonder who's gonna keep paying for that?

                                                                                                              Do you really expect Bush to stand in front of the nation and say "well, we've decided to sit this one out because some Indonesians were happy at 9/11"?

                                                                                                              Besides, in a situation like this where so many lives are at stake petty differences (and even not-so-petty differences) need to be put aside.

                                                                                                              And I hope that you're comments about the fact they are the "largest Muslim country" doesn't imply the US shouldn't help on that fact alone? Unless you've been brainwashed by your nation's fear mongers Muslims are not terrorists and do not condone it in any way. To imply all Muslims or Islamists are not worthy of aid because bin Laden happens to share their basic religious values is an ignorant and dangerous belief .. and it doesn't take a genius to see in America's own history what damage this line of thinking caused (if you don't know what I mean, just watch Mississippi Burning).

I'd hate to think that the US has been holding back when it's been clear for over a year that more troops are required in Iraq - even just to give those there a break!

We have troops in 70% of the worlds countries doing various duties. No need to wonder who pays for it, tax dollars compromise the majority of it.
