"The Cold War is over. That was my point."

Tell us something we dont know.

You said you support traditional National Defense but then besmirch the shining example of American National Defense...the Cold War...as being an outmoded policy.

Seems a bit confusing.

Besmirch the shining example of the American military?! Hogwash! I am merely pointing out that world conditions have changed and thus strategic national defense needs have also changed. As to besmirching the American military, perhaps you should look in a mirror. I am not the one who wants to put them in harm's way in international futile and endless Wilsonian crusades to "build democracy" and "enforce regional stability" that have nothing to do with home defense.
