And what would be wrong with that?

Why should we get involved or even care?

My military age son started asking questions, and then I started to wonder myself:

Name 1 country that we have spilt our blood to defend that hasn’t hated us in return?

Indeed, it seems like the more boys we send to die for a nation, the more that nation comes to despise us.

That being the case, isn’t it time to bring our boys home?

You would think so, but global interventionists and their allies in the media will use any pullback from our current international obligations as an opportunity to replay 1930’s diplomacy.

See what happens when we leave, an evil foreign government will fill the vacuum, will be their message.

My son isn’t military age, he’s only 8 years old, but if the current corruption is still around a decade from now, my recommendation to him will be find employment or become an employer in the private sector.

When was the last time you left your town, your state, or the US? You imbibe Leftist Anti-American garbage then regurgitate it on the forum. Myopic anti-American garbage is not a reasonable argument. It is trash.

Please pick up your trash. Don’t spread the discarded wrappings of your Leftist indoctrination on the forum.

If you had travelled the world, particularly current and former war zones you would see that America is a highly respected country.

Lemme guess, you think the countries which people are leaving to get to the US are better? Right. Look at all those people sneaking over the Russian, Chinese, Iranian and Cuban borders to live there.

Get a passport. MOVE THERE. Put your A where your attitude is FIRST, then try talking your S.
