Imagine living in a house where when you want to turn on a light switch, you have to call the electric company to send enough power to your house to do so.
That is what Ron Paul wants to do to the U.S. Right now, we have strategic forces stationed around the world at the agreement of our allies. We can react to a sudden military situation with a moments notice.
If Ron Paul has his way, all U.S. forces would be based in the U.S., which means if there was a need to react militarily to any situation in another part of the world we would need to get not only our forces, but command and control operations, logistical lines, and communications set up before we could react.
Sorry, that is unrealistic and exceptionally dangerous.
If Ron Paul had his way, we’d be fighting the war on terror here in this country rather than over there in some third world rat hole on the other side of the world.
