Picture this tv ad:
A kid is going around an inner city school cafeteria collecting scraps of food from various plates. He then goes outside and gives the food to a bum. Prompt: “What do you want to be?” Next shot: the kid is dispensing food for an international aid agency. What agency is this? The United States Army.
What values do you expect from our military -honor, courage, commitment, discipline, integrity?
Forget it – in the 21st century, global welfare, altruism, and sacrificial offerings of both looted aid and soldier’s lives are the new standards for our military.
