” the United States will endeavor to fight its wars offshore or overseas, so that no major campaign ever again will be fought on U.S. soil.”
You’re the one that doesn’t get it. No base or outpost can survive the onslaught of such forces as we faced with the Soviet Union. None. They were sacrificial. So, your viewpoint on this is moot.
Second, what happens when all your troops are overseas and then slaughtered leaving none at home? Such Mahan Doctrines are great when you wrote such a thing during a time when mass transit using aircraft wasn’t invented yet, not to mention nuclear weapons that can be delivered in mere minutes.
This isn’t 1900 anymore.

You are gravely short sighted. Go back and read the findings from the 9-11 commission on military readiness. Go read about the fantastic work our military has performed worldwide in humanitarian efforts. But never let your guard down before evil terrorists. Your posts disclose how uninformed you are about what our military has been doing for 60 years in foreign countries. Do you really think they are marching around with their machine guns? Dufus!
Have you ever heard of the National Guard? well, go read up and realize everything you have been blabbing about is meaningless.
[You, being a knucklehead] You’re the one that doesn’t get it. No base or outpost can survive the onslaught of such forces as we faced with the Soviet Union. None. They were sacrificial. So, your viewpoint on this is moot.
That must be what the NVA thought in 1972, right before we turned their tank columns into putrescent junk and left overturned T-54's lying on top of one another where they fell ..... Yeah, better check with General Giap's colleagues about that one, Sparky.
What twaddle. "Moot"? I'll show you "moot":
Second, what happens when all your troops are overseas and then slaughtered leaving none at home?
When the Armed Forces of the United States get "slaughtered", I assure you there will be no form of life left on the other side more complicated than tree moss.
"Slaughtered" -- what piffle! What, are you just expressing your fondest hope, that you will live to see your splenetic isolationism validated on the bones of American servicemen, so you could put down your bowl of mush long enough to mumble through your drool, "See? See?! Told you so!!"
