Ruben, your front line experience in the mid east can't be argued with.
Our experiences are at both ends of the sprectrum and a rifleman in today's army is more likely to see some of the things you have seen than the tail end of a jet fighter scooting off to bomb the crap out of the baddies - whoever that happens to be.
Yes the shots are called by the pollies and always have been. Nothing has changed there.
I had a choice of services when I joined and chose the Air Force for exactly the reasons you have given.
