Once again, another self proclaiming patriot that can’t wait until all future wars are fought on our soil.

Brilliant.

“Once again, another self proclaiming patriot that can’t wait until all future wars are fought on our soil.”

Your comments about that are a non sequitur. Reducing our military to that needed to protect our country does not mean that any war must be fought on our soil. Where did you get that from? What is the converse, that we have our military all over the world? That we have global dominance and bully every other nation to allow in our military?

If you are that paranoid about an attack from an army you cannot name then you should just go live in a cave and hide.

Hah. I suppose we fought Japan entirely on our soil? No? Oh, ok. The Barbary Pirates? No? See, in neither of those cases did we go out looking for a potential threat. That’s how we should handle things.

I am with you. It is unfortunate that there are so many dumb asses who think it is a good idea to shrink our military to pre-WWII levels. We all know that this money saved will be use to fund and advance the terminal spread of socialism/communism in this country. We were lucky in WWII that our enemies did not yet have the technology to cause mass casualties in the heartland. We might not be so lucky next time. I am sure there are plenty around the world who are rejoicing at this news. How can it be a good thing when all those celebrating do not have our best interests in mind (e.g. China, NK, Iran, Al Queda, etc.). I swear some people in this country are too stupid to live.
