Why does our military always stick their noses in other countries' business?

Can you explain this in your terms sir

SGT (Join to see) it will not be as great as Sir Alfred but basically we are the military and in this country the military takes orders from the people that are elected by the people. In our system we are not given the authority to decide what we will or will not do. We are given orders and we must follow them. We shall not try to reason why but merely focus our efforts at the assigned tasks.

Love the response sir makes since we are puppets they pull our strings

SGT (Join to see) I would not say puppets. Puppets do not have a say at all. We signed up for this and knew what we were doing when we signed up. We can resign our commissions, go IRR, ETS, etc. as well as vote for who we trust to lead us.

I'm going on a limb here and assume the ebola mission is the one you're concerned about. First of all, the U.S. military is not interfering in the affairs of the countries involved heavily in the most recent ebola outbreak. In reality, the U.S. government is sending the USAMRID team and the "common" military personnel at the request of one or more (I believe all did request thru the UN) of the countries (Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia) that are in the grips of the ebola hemmoragic situation. The countries involved have pretty well used up what medical / technical resources they had on hand and requested assitance of the entire world. The U.S. government is only one of several countries around the world that are sending aid. The U.S. is opting to send our best medical teams there to teach the local medical staff the proper methods to protect themselves and to provide medical supplies and equipment their own government does not have.

Of course, the question is: why? Simply answered: because it's the right thing to do. Will we put military personnel at risk? Yes. For every U.S. military servicemember put at risk there are hundreds of locals who do not have the advantage of a safe place to decontaminate, nor the equipment to do so, nor the medicines to treat those found to be affected. In many ways, this is a different type of battle. In common military combat, there's some sort of sign - big bangs, whizzing bullets, etc. With this disease, the enemy is invisible. Somehow that invisible enemy is scarier that actual combat to some.

Bottom line: we are not interfering. We are assisting a country that requested assistance from the world.

Thanks that's really helps I agree 100%. Answer I was hoping for

You're welcome. Sometimes what we military folks get stuck with just doesn't make sense. Sometimes our bosses forget that the lowly enlisted don't get the detailed briefings .... we just get orders to pack 'em up, move 'em out!

Exactly I like the way you talk remind me of my dad your awesome
