Defense Secretary Robert Gates envisioned a new role for the U.S. Army:
Army soldiers can expect to be tasked with reviving public services, rebuilding infrastructure and promoting good governance. All these so-called nontraditional capabilities have moved into the mainstream of military thinking, planning, and strategy – where they must stay.
In his speech Secretary Gates also acknowledged that “U.S. forces will play some role in Iraq for years to come.”
Anything but actually defend the country.

That’s why the Founders were against having a standing army.
That’s why we have DOD and Homeland Security.
That’s why we are broke, and disgusted.
