" I don't think it's particularly a moral duty of this nation to send our men and women into harm's way to help improve the quality of life for people in other nations."

How do you feel about sending our money into other nations to kill their unborn children and destroy the traditional family? Is that "moral" to you?

How about human cloning, for medical research, is that moral to you?

How about bombing a nation that is about to bomb you, is that moral to you?

How about attacking a nation that is committing genocide, killing millions of its citizens, is that moral to you?

It all depends on what the origin of one's morals are. For mankind, without divinely originated morals, we can agree on no specific morals at all.

Just look at abortion, the murdering of innocent defenseless little boys and girls. True Christians agree, it is immoral to murder these boys and girls. Secularists are like you are regarding protecting our neighbors in other nations, they think it is none of their business. Hence, we have 1.5 million children slaughtered every single year in the USA alone.

Sad. Truly sad.

I'll make it easy for you: I don't believe in interventionism abroad unless it's directly tied to the defense of this nation. We have enough difficulty keeping our own house here in order; let's concentrate on that before donning the white hat for the rest of the world. Let other nations worry about keeping their affairs in order, and let the citizens of other nations worry about repairing their own societies and systems of government if they want to be more like us.

This does not prevent you, for instance, from donating money or your time or efforts to an international cause you feel is just or moral. Nor does it prevent our nation from building or maintaining a strong military that allows us to project our power internationally if need be and stomp our military enemies into oblivion.

If that's "sad" in your opinion, so be it.
