Somewhere along the line our leaders forgot that a strong military isn’t supposed to be used as the world’s policeman. We have a strong military so that we do NOT have to constantly use it.
As I recall, this started with Clinton in Bosnia. Democrat administrations are generally hostile to the military, but they sure like to use it...a lot. Isolationism isn’t the answer, but neither are these expeditionary wars all over the planet!

Absolutely true, just like a policeman isn’t always shooting people. Mostly, he just yells at jaywalkers and people who run stop signs, and hustles hookers and pushers off his beat. Back to globocoppery, that’s why I find the US involvement in Libya so frivolous. There were plenty of things short of military intervention that would have served much better, but The One just had to have a military intervention.
