I'd love to know what people think is wrong with the American military. I'm a third-class petty officer in the US Navy, myself. I joined the military because I didn't know what to do with my life and I wanted to travel. Currently, I'm living on foreign soil, and on a daily basis, my job is to keep radios working. It actually really upsets me to hear people say "America's all about playing world police" or similar, because not all military forces who are stationed outside the States are where they are to control the local populace. My antenna field and radios are where they need to be to relay the signal to troops in combat-heavy areas, not because we're 'policing' anyone.
