The military are for protecting our country in whatever way she must be protected. At this time in our history, with the enemy infiltrating our society daily, I think we need to rearrange our thinking re: what kind of protection is required. We no longer have a "battlefield" type of war to fight. This is a war on our own soil, against people who sneak themselves and possibly weapons of all kinds into our country through the open borders/ineffective customs serches etc. (Or, for maximum covert status, they just come here and enroll at a flight school). We must be aware of who is entering our country, for what purpose, where they will be, and when they are leaving. (And if they actually left!)
Flame away.
No flames from me. We share the same goal; we just disagree about the means to achieve that goal.
