We need Curtis LeMay back, or at least someone like him. I frankly don’t care if we have 30000 warheads again. Now we have a smaller standing army, navy and air force to what we had 40 years ago when we had a huge nuclear deterrent. Where is the deterrent now. BTW, the deterrent is just to stop an attack, it under pins our entire military posture and by extention our foreign policy. Does anyone except the simpleton Kenyan think that anyone cares if we rant and rave and waive our arms before the UN about something? No, they only care if they know that if it is an attack on our nation or national interests, we have, er had, the power to obliterate them. As someone said long ago, money (power) talks and BS walks.
Where is the deterrent now?
$17 trillion in debt
20 million illegal aliens
40 million on food stamps
Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga
.... Who would want to assume control of this mess?
But I agree, as an old SAC trained killer, it seems to me that we’ve pissed it away.
