seems to me that should be no better use of the military, except guarding our borders.
We have no mandate in afghanistan, or any other place in the world, but we are there with a massive deployment of armaments and troops.
The US military is not intended to be guarrisoned in our towns, and cities, but it IS intended to defend our shores! Read YOUR constitution. Mine states their specific mission!
and has no provision for an IRS!!!!!

I don't completely disagree with you (especially with regard to the IRS).

I just think border patrol agents should be just that.

The military should be used to help our friends in the middle east to celebrate Rahmadan.

Absolutely!

Now my father is dead, so I can't ask him where he was 'garrisoned' during WWII - but he guarded the border then. Somehow we managed to survive that and so the that macho military everyone thinks couldn't or wouldn't do the job.
