the internet, with the good that it has done, has given fuckin retards a voice for other retards to hear and gather around. This can be seen in most of the comments below. The world is a complex place, war and peace are not opposites. The Army (and rest of the military) only acts to support diplomatic efforts. Sometimes, its in the front kicking in door, other times its in the back handing out water bottles and stickers. It is good that the Army is adapting to a changing world.
the military is just a tool of politicians. The fact that they are trying to build up too besides fighting is not so unique, the Roman army was too an unbelievable building force. and fact is, the genera is realy an intelligent man with sharp insights, even more than many politicians.
Caldwell's comments are HIS OWN-they don't represent the views of common soldiers. He speaks of nation building as if Germany and Japan were never occupied. This man is hewing a PC line out of the state department.
Nation building is an excuse to invade, bomb, loot, occupy, kill, and destroy foreign countries. All that evil done "to help the local people have a better life." hehehehehe
nation-building lol maybe the US army can start in the US with the economic fall and all the homless people who lst there houses to banks they should start at home lol

US Agency for International Development: Purpose was to prevent states from becoming "fragile" in the firstplace.
Military strategy has political objectives;
Political objectives have Economic Objectives;
Economic Objectives maintain the Peace.
Economic Objectives are secured by Diplomatic Initiative.
Whats has SECState Rice been doing because US State Dept hasn't applied its diplomatic corp to secure US strategic posture?
Diplomacy is not a photo op!

The soundtrack for this piece should be
"I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world". We, the people of the world love the US army.
