Ben, a realist recognizes what a lack of military preparedness resulted in as it relates to WWI and WWII.
We can all toss out names until we’re blue in the face. Reagan was the type of realist I respect. He saw what a lack of military preparedness resulted in across the board. He refused to allow it during his tenure.
The fact is, John Kerry does approve of dismantling our military. And the fact is, the dismantling that has already taken place, has resulted in military adventurism in the same place it did twice last century.
Why do you think this military adventurism won’t lead to the same things that took place in WWI and WWII?
If Russia were to take over Europe, how many weeks do you think it would be before he would be expanding into South America, via insurgent groups and people like Manuel Ortega or Fidel Castro types?
Where do you wish to draw the lines, our borders? Do you really wish to see all future global wars fought on U. S. soil against the whole rest of the world?
But we still owe all this money for Iraq and Afghanistan.
And the worst thing for defense spending was the sequester.
