How so? Honest question. And I don't mean to suggest that Paul is a God, or that his campaign hasn't attracted a good deal of anti-military loons.
But it seems to me that Paul's basic premise is that we should seriously curtail our military presence overseas. How is that being weak on defense? I would think we'd only want our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen to go into harm's way---jeopardizing their lives, of course---only when the survival of our nation absolutely depends on it.
Interested to hear everyone's thoughts.
Hard to define this nice sounding phrase. Wasn't the U.S. Navy created in order to keep trade routes open and protect U.S. private sector commerce? Did the "survival of our nation absolutely depend on it"? Some would say absolutely yes and some might say not necessasrily.
There are higher callings in the world than simply defending oneself. We can thank God for that.
