With a smaller military maybe we’ll mind our own business. And hope like hell we don’t get attacked here. We’re broke yet going around bailing other countries out of their mess. Why is it always us that has to do something? Plus, I’m tired of Americans dieing in wars that they fight with at least one hand tied behind their backs.
I prefer the conservative policy of talk softly & carry a big stick rather than the leftist policy of nuance loudly and hope like hell.
Frankly I think a smaller military is a blessing; right now, we have a huge military with troops that aren’t as trained or treated as well as they should be. With a smaller and more specialized fighting force I am certain that we’ll be a lot better off.
Besides, we’re armed country and isn’t it better than most other countries with an unarmed populace.
