“Globalists want it as the Department of War.”
That would make me a globalist. My Dad fought in multiple wars. I’ve been in one or two, depending on if you divide between Iraq & Afghanistan or combine them into one. Two of my kids were in combat.
“Defense” sounds like something that repels an invasion at our shores. “War” recognizes that the best defense is often an offense. We fought WW2 as a WAR, not claiming we were only defending ourselves and would accept a partial solution.
We fought the COLD WAR - which included hot wars in Korea & Vietnam and multiple uses of force around the world. My Dad and I were part of that, too.
Did we accomplish everything we should have in Iraq & Afghanistan? No - but a whole bunch of terrorists died there, and 9/11 was not repeated.
You call taking the fight to our enemies “globalism”.
I call it the price of freedom.
