By the time this country was founded, transportation was advanced enough to require that American military go 'abroad' to defend our interests. I was in the Army not the Marines, but I still remember that the Marines' Hymn starts "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli." The Navy and Marines took on the Barbary pirates in their nests in what is now Libya to protect American shipping.

Sir, I apparently am not making my point to those who think it is anti-Republic to fight the enemy on their own land.

The transportation word usage was to describe not what WE the US can travel, rather that those who seek to destroy US have access to, all sorts of transportation to plant themselves among US. We are not fighting a uniformed supposed civilized army.

Liberals call it the global village, and seek to make all as one, miserable.
