Another insult, Chainmail? Please permit me to go into more detail. You might well be right about this issue. Maybe a large and expensive standing army is the way to go. If so, convince me. And then I’ll vote for candidates who favor that position.
But what is your goal here? Is it simply to insult other long-term Freepers who happen to disagree with you? If so, I guess you are moving in the right direction.
But if your goal is to change minds and influence people, I’d suggest a change in course.
I guess it’s because I have very little patience for Freepers - who should understand and value our Armed Forces - saying things that are more appropriate for Leftist fora.
History tells us that there have been many preeminent civilizations but none of them survived when they neglected their ability to defend themselves. In a world where we could be annihilated from any spot on Earth within 30 minutes or so, we have no choice but to be the best there is at keeping the potential enemies at bay.
I have traveled all over the world and found that there are millions of wonderful, gracious people - who you would never want to be in charge of you and your future.
