Nonresponsive.

Funny how the language works.

To a conservative, they would clearly see that my response indicates that I don't believe that a battle half-a-world away has anything to do with national security but that I do believe, the ability to defend oneself has everything to do with a proper national security policy in a land that respects and believes in liberty.

You phrase the question as a statist would; where would I rather fight?

That assumes that I would behave like a coward that ask someone to fight proxy for me, which is, I guess, what you have done.

The arrival of ardent statists like yourself to this site has contributed greatly to misunderstanding between conservative patriots and simple nationalists who apologize for the state and favor a gutless foreign policy.
