Anybody there...?
From “My people have this secret superfast weapon that can destroy aliens” to “Stealth bombers were deployed to target ennemy combatants” it's a rather smooth transition. But whereas in scenario number one, an agitated mom is rapidly closing in on the sandbox to take possession of the secret superfast weapon (sand shovel) while telling the alien to retract his tongue, there is no such institution, it seems, in scenario number two. Instead we see crowds of flag swirling mom's with badges on their T-shirts saying Proud to be a US Soldier's Mom.

I get you. But do those moms not deserve to be proud? For many, the service is one of few viable options in life after being under-served in high school and all along.
Granted, a soldier need not always be a weapon-toting destroyer. Maybe we need to revisit the old classic "corps" as a body, a force for justice, for human rights.
The fight might not be good, but the good fight on both sides.
