Answer 2

Marine.  MOS 0331 machinegunner with LAR unit.  1986-1991.  First Gulf War.

Going into Russia would be, in my opinion, a catastrophy.  We're spread thin as it is, and Russia, while not nearly as strong as it was back in the bad old days, is no pushover.  Moreover, they do possess significant nuclear and chemical weapons stocks.  Finally, logistics would quickly become a nightmare.

What would be the aims of such an intervention?  What would be the goals?  Drive through hundreds of miles of Russian territory to Georgia?  I just don't think it's worth the effort, nor do I think we have sufficient surplus units, and supplies to pull it off.  

Answer 3

i wouldn't mind going there.  we got to put a stop now before its to late.

about to leave to boot camp nov.  =)  

Answer 4

I'm not in the military but if I had the chance to go to Georgia as a peacekeeper, I would.  I'm still too young to serve, and I'm not planning to enlist, but I think I would enlist if I had a cause that I felt strongly enough about, like this situation in Georgia.
