For whatever reason that you work for the American military, the result is the same. Your work supports American military missions all over the world, and I am grateful for that. However, you must realize that it seems very hypocritical to say that you don't approve of American military fighting in Iraq but you work for that same military. It's true that you work in Germany, not Iraq, but Germany is a very important support facility to the war in Iraq. Many American soldiers and airmen pass thru the Germany bases on their ways to and from Iraq. If the bases in Germany were closed, it would create a hardship for the American forces. So, it's quite clear that your work does support the war in Iraq. I'm not complaining; I'm
glad that the German bases are available to support the war.

You make a lot of assumption without know what and how Americans feel... because I know them, not you.

I'm not discussing how
Americans feel. I was asking about your rationalization for working for a military whose missions you disagree with.

I feel that you look for an agruement and defend US political against your own people. I support people and their feeling for policital issues.

That's my point. If you are against the war in Iraq, why do you help Americans fight that war? The same pot of money that pays your salary also pays for the war in Iraq.

I repeat dozen of times for past years to you that I SUPPORT troops for defend our countries against attackers (terrorists), NOT go to attack other countries for unnecassary war. Soliders (veterans) say the same thing. Get it? If you can´t get it then I can´t help you.

But you
do support the soldiers fighting the war in Iraq because your job helps them to do that. If you support the war in Iraq, then that's consistent with your employment, and that's OK. But if you are against American soldiers fighting in Iraq, then your employment is inconsistent with your stated beliefs. That's all.
