Sending U.S. troops to fight in military campaigns in Third World sh!t-holes all over the globe -- even while our own borders are deliberately left open for all the detritus from those same Third World sh!t-holes -- never made any sense to me.
If we had gotten involved in the late '30s - when the Italians invaded Ethiopia and Libya, when the Japanese invaded Manchuria and took on China, when the Nazis rearmed and moved into the Sudetenland, millions of lives could have been saved.
This generation and the others since WWII recognize that the world is crawling with murderous swine, itching to get to us. You need to thank your Creator that there has been a gutsy thin line out there to keep you safe to spout your inanities.
