Defense from threats foreign and domestic, actually. The epidemic of mortgage fraud that nearly crashed the global economy six years ago is a greater threat to this country than radical Islam ever will be. The current gap between the richest Americans and the majority also qualifies as a crisis for all those not lost like naive trolls in the 18th century.No, defense means to defend our borders and Americans from foreign threats.
I'm bailing on this argument on the grounds that you are an idiot.
