Of course it does. We've become the declining Roman Empire. Troops at the far reaches of our empire, while we're being invaded and attacked at home.

Honestly, I would trust Poland and Russia to defend their borders more than I'd trust the US. With the US, you get the pro-Islam and pro-homosexual agendas. (contradictory as they are) You get our garbage culture. You get a military infiltrated by those with their own agenda. Why would you want that?

Those few hundred soldiers participating in that drill do not cause manpower shortage so that there is no one left for Mexican border if the government would want to put soldiers there.
