They are not mine or your soldiers, they are on the payroll of the U.S. government.
I would ask you the same question, "Are you proud?" , but we already know that the answer is YES.
I am both proud and embarassed by our military. We are suppose to be the power of peace and stability. We are suppose to be the righteous country invading another country on the premise of bringing peace and instead, we bring death and humiliation.
I am proud of our personnel who fight and do the right things, and I am ashamed of the ones who murder, rape, pillage, steal , torture and in any other fashion bring shame upon the USA with their actions.
To be 100% proud and ignore the criminals (aka like BUSH and CO.) is to lie to yourself about the mission.
We cant be about righteousness if we are peeing on dead bodies. This country whines like little girls when one of ours is captured, mistreated or beheaded, but when we kill dozens in an errant airraid, all we say is "Ma bad"...
Wars need to stop, and we need to stop putting ourselves in need of wars over oil and oil interests.
Peace
