Our military would do quite nicely if staffed only with Texans currently in the military.
Keep in mind we wouldn't find it necessary to post Texans in for example Kosovo.

OK, that's one. Texas is part of a global economy and trades with dozens of countries. I'm assuming you'll be setting up embassies in them?
