It would also help quite a bit if we stopped being the world’s police force. There was a time when the military wasn’t spread all over the globe on one deployment after another. Leadership needs to learn how to set priorities. If it isn’t directly related to national defense, then maybe we shouldn’t go. Of course, this is way, way too much to expect from President Obama and his ilk. Like all leftists, they hate the DoD. I’m not saying we need to be isolationists, but we could certainly be a little less expeditionary.

It's so 'nice' of us 'capitalists' to protect the 'wealth' of the 'socialists'.
