I agree. As a vet I also wonder why we have "peace keeping" forces half way around the world and yet live under the threat of someone walking in with a nuclear bomb. As soon as someone blows up a major city suddenly the border will become a priority and troops on the border won't seem so unpalatable.

Easy, in the minds of our rulers Mexico, the U.S. and Canada are already one country as they are demonstrating with their quite public announcements of impending unity. Why do they need to protect us against other "North American" citizens.
The ruling elite (and whether you like it or not we have them) are trained to believe that they have an obligation and a right to direct the lives of the rest of us. We're just here to provide a labor force, that's why they refer to us as "human resources". We have departments in every university that teach public administration and social engineering. Bureaucracy has become a career path and bureaucrats produse nothing but paperwork and debt.
