We can’t even secure our borders here and we have hundreds of thousand troops in Europe & Asia? Amazing!
I am for strong military always, but why spend money abroad when we are more broke than Germany and S. Korea and Japan?
Mark Steyn made a good point in his article this weekend.
The US has ringed the world with military bases, and spends huge amount of money on military preparedness. Obama and his people even watched the attack in Benghazi on live video feeds - yet they were either unable or unwilling to stop it.
So what is $600 billion in defense expenditures worth if you can’t save 4 Americans in some N. African sh**hole or, even worse, you don’t have the political will to do so?
