How about no oversea wars, simply due to the fact we constrain our military to fight in a “politically correct” fashion.

Nothing like restricting the greatest military in the world.

We can’t even use them to guard our own border.

Good grief, my head hurts.

You are correct PC and post modern legalism will lead us to a place where France was in 1940. Unless the next president picks a Sec Def who has the disposition of Rumsfeld and a charter to end PC and diversity think the armed forces the US military will have a rendezvous with an unforgiving destiny. The implementation of gay normalization in the armed forces is only the most poisonous of these memes that have to be gotten rid of.

Actually, I knew about not fighting land wars in Asia, a long time ago, before Vietnam. I think I heard it from General Eisenhower?

Why not have our military do something useful, and more important, like guarding our border with Mexico?

You should be glad Americans don’t fight like the Waffen SS or the Red Army (with the NKVD behind their backs to make sure that ‘deserters’ are shot).

What distinguishes America from all other great powers is the respect for human rights. It does not diminish you, it makes you stronger.

Now, even if you fought like the Red Army there is no way you could subdue 1.3 billion Chinese on their home turf, if they decided to go asymmetrical. Appreciate that fact and live with it.

You still have dominance on air and sea, enjoy it while it lasts.
