But daydream with me for just a moment: What if we gradually scaled down military spending, chose not to rush off to foreign wars based on questionable motives, and began to take the name of our "Department of Defense" literally?.....

Someone should tell this Marxist that this is exactly what Bubba Clinton during the 90s, and we got 9/11 for it. I loathe idiots like this - they are as dangerous as the Islamofacists we are fighting.

Let me correct something.

chose not to rush off to foreign wars based on questionable motives

Bubba Clinton did do this in the Kosovo when he bombed the hell out of Serbia, without the approval of the Almighty UN, for absolutely reasons that literally had absolutely nothing to do with our security. I bet that this dingbat finds no fault whatsoever with the Great Stainmaker though.

Bingo. The real answer to the rhetorical question that the author poses is: Himself. Socialist morons just like him.
