Not exactly true @arabisouri. Most U.S. service men/women join the military because they have no other option and they believe the lies told them by the recruiters. For them, it is like a catch 22 where they can't do anything else. If they don't go into service, they end up in jail. If they refuse to fight, they end up in jail.
The U.S. has the highest prison population in the World with only the 8th largest population. kind of goes with the largest military budget (more than the next 27 countries combined, 22 of which are allies). While I understand and commiserate with the Syrian people, I am saddened and angered that the military has gotten so bad they are getting stoned (literally and not happily)
From my age bracket here in the U.S. I sincerely apologize. I only hope that we get a new leader that will begin the ending of these endless wars..
