I have a genuine belief that if the U.S. wasn't involved in this war, then everyone would be in a much better position today. They might have one of the biggest military forces in the world but they are poorly trained compared to other countries and their foreign policy is awful. They will only get involved in a conflict if it directly threatens America or will have some sort of benefit to them, as was the case in WW2.
I think that Europe and other countries should take control of the situation in the middle east with the U.S. taking a back seat, although I can't see this happening. They make situations worse with their trigger happy nature and fail to realise that shooting at everything doesn't solve problems, it creates them.
They have a very out dated military in terms of it's size. There is no need for huge military's in todays world as terrorism is the main threat to a country not invasion.They focus too much on quantity and not quality. Small agile forces and technology are the way forward.
