Perhaps quite unintentionally, you have written one of the most simply damning critiques of the military-industrial complex that i have ever seen.

How so? My point was they saw us do these many things that they could not do for themselves and they are stunned.
Do you remember the Daily Show when they had an Iraqi engineer stating that the American soldier must have had mini-air conditioning systems in their underwear? He, and many others, honestly thought that was the reason our soldiers could be in full length cammies, as well as body armor in the Iraqi heat.
My point was they see these things we have done and immediately assume we are capable of everything with very little effort. It's like seeing a neighbor fixing his own car, and helping you fix yours... then assuming he can build you a patio.
