Our basic war strategy is to never fight a war on American soil. The way we do that is by maintaining troops overseas as a tripwire.

As the world gets smaller, the area covered by the Monroe Doctrine gets bigger. And thankfully so.

We can no longer afford it. Most that strategy is rooted in Pentagon Plans of the late 1930’s onward.
It's all outdated.
Practically we cannot keep up the level of spending we have for defense.
Our war now is with Terrorist who have no rooted place.
So much of our strategy was for a two ocean war that is now out of date.
China may be the next enemy, but what kind of war will it be? Certainly not millions of men fighting a land battle or really even a full scale navel war.
We have to take care of this country and solve our problems now and close that southern border.

The other strategy is a combination of sturdy geographic boundaries (sea); strategic deterrent (ICBM with nukes); and a citizenry that will be armed and restive against insurgents. Most of what our armed forces are doing overseas is "nationbuilding," (more like plantation building for the elites) and that of other people's nations.

As for war on our soil, I dare an invader to bring it on. The way things are going, the enemy is within, and our resources are without.
