Since the day I signed up to join the Navy (1975), I have been dead-set against EVERY war the US has undertaken. Some years later I learned the basic constitutional scope of the military and was floored. Since THAT time, I have been not only against foreign wars, but support of other countries engaged in wars that do NOT threaten the US directly, or have a significant impact on our international interests as TAXPAYERS (I'm not talking about commercial entanglements with enemies, quasi-enemies, proxies, and 3rd world mercenary nations, those have NO business with individual taxpayer funding of military protection).


I say we pull ALL U.S. troops from ALL foreign countries, and place them on our southern border to STOP the intrusions of human traffic, drugs, counterfeit goods, and all manner of Illegal activity. Then, rotate them regularly all round the country's various border points, prepared to take on any threat at any time ON OUR OWN SHORES. Let the other countries realize EXACTLY how much we have been benefiting them, so they'll crawl back with CASH IN HAND to fund selective protection projects, so the taxpayers don't have to.
