Most people nowadays don't have the context to understand or contribute to extreme situations anymore. It's people like you who are the sheep.

The foreign policy of our country most definitely should be the business of every civilian.
I am not dictating foreign policy, you should be able to tell that from my posts. Defense strategy? Last time I checked Afghanistan has not attacked Canada.
Who decides our foreign policy? Civilians with no special knowledge of the military. We call them politicians. Sure they have advisors who are more informed than we are. That does not make them right and it doesn't make them infallible.
You are giving government a free pass to do whatever it wants to do and encouraging everybody to stay out of its business. Your claim that no one but specialists can question foreign policy is a very dangerous concept. I'm surprised you can't see that.
