You throw around terms like “foreign wars” and “neocon” and “globalist” and I bet you have no idea how to define them.

I would also say, that unlike the NFL - where you want to play at home - the ONLY kind of war one should be in is a FOREIGN WAR!!!!

War at home SUCKS.

(1) Well, let’s see: foreign wars, where to start, how about Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, and Serbia, all of which were wars of choice (the crucial distinction) started by either Democratic or Republican presidents.

(2) By “neocon,” I am referring to that species of conservative (most of whom used to be Democrats) which believes in an aggressive and antagonistic foreign policy designed to promote “democracy” overseas.

(3) By “globalist,” I am referring to that species of conservative (or the “duty to protect” liberal, there being no essential difference on this issue) who is content to allow 11 million illegal aliens to invade the United States while the U.S. military has the South Korean border locked down airtight.

I am a pretty consistent nationalist: I don’t believe that the wars in Serbia, Vietnam, Libya, or Iraq were in our national interest, and I certainly don’t believe they are worth paying for either.

The Civil War taught the the “thinking part” of the US military such a Upton, Mahan to name a few early US military philosophers!) that wars if they occur must be elsewhere! I know this is obvious, but it has to be stated again and again. To put it another way if the enemy is at the gates, you have big problems, because the next stage if things go badly is the enemy inside the gates!
