There are many men who are insecure but will not admit it & for the reason you stated masculinity is a driving force but not as much today as it was when I grew up(product of environment) or live up to your father's expectations. JMO
Your opinion & theirs yet when I was anemic my doctor said eat a lot of greens & a bloody steak-bottom line again-moderation & you eat what you want & I will do the same..Have a nice day!
How could you even suggest it does not affect us-forget the money which we pay Pakistan to be our friend(joke) which is only to accommodate & have much better access to Afghanistan. I'm speaking of loss of life solely on both sides.
Oh contrare Konigs! War is not a money making machine like it used to be as far as employment & the weaponry of today is too costly for our economy to sustain but we will persevere hopefully. I love my country but I'm tired of our foreign policies as I'm sure many others here agree. I wish we would take care of our own & let everyone else fend for themselves(may sound cruel but we are not appreciated anyway-damned if we do & damned if we don't & that's not to say we are w/o fault for I disagree with my government quite often). I am however tired of USA being the brunt of negativity whereas no other country is ever mentioned.
