Blacks in the Military?

i think that the US being the bigger "person" would be one alternative to war. meaning, instead of feeling like you have to fight fire with fire, learn how to fight it with water or earth instead. (what that would be a symbol for, i'm not sure) and i don't think that means not doing anything, i think it means being proactive instead of reactive. insurgencies are no joke and i feel like if you back them into a corner, they're only going to fight more viciously. by continuing to give them a fight, you're buying into what they want. insurgencies weaken by forcing who they're fighting against to exhaust their resources. the US is on their turf, i don't think they're in control of the situation. and i'm not saying invite them over here and have war in the streets of NYC but i think it would be more efficient to lessen the fighting. i agree with neckbone in saying the time would be the same by now. if something's not being effective, repeating it at a more extreme level is not going to be very effective either.
