That's the way it should be. Help them fight for their own country.
I'm sick and tired of seeing news of American soldiers being killed, while the whole world talks smack about them, while we all know that we not only need them, but that a world in which Iranian/Russian/north Korean/Chinese/radical Islam can go unchecked would very soon see the end of democracy, freedom of speech etc.
The Media should really start to recognise this. It's easier to bash and criticise and come up with conspiracy BS. In the real world, I'm only free because America enables this. Without them, my country would be taken over by Russia. Or the country where I'm currently living in, would be taken over by China. It's really the US that leads to defend western and most other countries, ideas, free speech. Let's just recognize that for a moment.
