I'll try to make this simple for you: we have enjoyed peace and safety here with only some exceptions (9/11)since the early 20th Century because we had the military power - and men - to keep our enemies at bay. Isolationism in a world that has access to ICMBs and nukes is a non-starter.

The job of keeping our country free and safe rests on the shoulders of those remaining young people we have the guts, the skills and the willpower to fight in nasty, remote places to keep the threats where they are, not here.

If you don't have what it takes, fine - stay back and out of the way and pay your taxes.

wrong so much wrong with your thinking

America First means defending our borders not being paranoid that every chicken sh*t dictator is going to invade us.

Arguing heroism versus cowardice is childish, really childish.

We capitulated in 1975. It would have been smarter to have capitulated in 1969. Are you going to argue the blood and treasure loses from 69 to
75 was worth it ?

Been there, done that. I say we nuke them and be done with it.

And in case you haven’t noticed we aren’t keeping them “over there”. They’re in Brussels, London, Manchester, San Bernadine, Orlando, Ft. Hood, New Jersey, .......

Our current strategy is a failure.

Time to get Roman on those savages.
