What is depleting our military is being stretched all over the globe, defending areas that can be defended by the nations in that region.

>>>>”Can be defended” and “will be defended” is as absurd as buying debt and funding the WOT example.

History shows time and time again allowing terrorists to build armies, take land, and terrorize populations leads to greater catastrophe.

It would be really peachy if the U.N. did it’s job but it clearly doesn’t.

History also shows that nations most often collapse from overspending and overextending then from external enemies.
