And of course, those who tend to lean against defense are largely Democrats.
One is too damned many to save the entirety of Asia, African, and the Middle East.
One drop of American blood or one taxpayer cent is worth more than the rest of the bloodsucking leeches represented by the UN (exception Israel as they generally have our back)
Lets take a poll to see how many Americans think we should be the world’s policeman.
It President Trump had called for troop increases a push poll would had been done showing the increased concern for the opposite.
Only SEVEN percent think troops are NOT deployed enough.
Most misleading title ever!!!
anybody have the break-outs, Republicans, Democrats and others?
How many of them even knew we have troops in all kinds of hot spots on the globe?
I have a question.
Why are overseas deployments of US troops always open ended, no withdrawal date and with constantly escalating mission requirement but US troops deployed ( not very often) to our own southern border are always small in number, defined limited mission, and have fixed withdrawal dates?
WHY?
The blood of American soldiers should only be shed after very much thought about the threat to our nation. Only if the threat is real should our blood be shed.
If our blood must be shed the soldier carrying the rifle must not be hampered by insane rules of engagement that hamper them and cause the loss of American blood.
If we must war, “Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war.” If one can not do this, do not go war! There is no gentlemanly way to kill your enemy. It is a very ugly business that must be conducted with extreme violence. If you can not do this, you will lose the war.
WWII was conducted with extreme violence and was total war. We bombed their factories, we fire bombed their cities, the Brits busted their dams and drowned them like rats, we dropped nukes on them in Japan. Oddly the fire bombings killed more than our two nukes we dropped. We had many more nukes in the production pipeline. We won.
Oddly civilian losses were as great if not greater than military losses of life. The civilians were part of the war effort as they built the planes and bombs and grew the food for the enemy. Thus they were and are legitimate targets in war. Civilians are the backbone of a war, even though they do not fight. The children were sad victims and a function of the enemy and not us. They started the war, we did not.
The best war is the one that does not happen because your enemy fears you.

Putting even one American service member in any form of combat, without a plan in place for total annihilation of the enemy, is one too many.
Sad to see so many neocons still permeate this site.
