I’ve always found it odd that we have these neoisolationists on the Freerepublic - like, how does reducing our role in the world and reducing the defenses of our country equate to conservatism?
I have always believed that those of us who have served are the realists and the true conservatives because we know first hand what’s out there and what it costs in lives, parts of bodies, and treasure to keep freedom alive.
Thank you for your service, by the way.
And thank you.
Are you serious? How does conservatism equate with our military presence, at an expense greater than, what, all other countries combined?, all over the globe?
It is not to protect global corporations abroad that we should be sending our patriotic men and women in the military off to death and maiming.
