Who would fill the vacuumActually we can defend our shore with one tenth the military we have today. We have not seen a foreign invader in 200 years. Two huge oceans will do thatBeing a veteran I like the military, but I really like to see stuff blowed up..Lets see if this can sink into your sociopathic brain.
Before George Bush 41, all wars after the US was created, were started by Democrats/Liberals/Progressives/Marxists. George Bush 41 & 43 are progressive Republicans, who increased government and also started the Gulf Wars 1 and 2. Today, Barrack Hussein Obama, has been using bombing and cruise missiles in his failed attempt to stop ISIS who was created by the Vagina Candidate, which those bombs and missiles cost US billions, why aren't you bitching about that? If there was no military , there wouldn't be a country for those on welfare to live in. So we spend billions of dollars for the military, while trillions are spent on entitlements. If we spent more on the military, maybe those on the entitlements would join the military?
Who has been the president of the US for the past 7 years? Why are the most ever in US history in poverty?
WWI was not stared by a democrat, neither was WWII, Korea, sorry they attacked the USA....Nam, Eisenhower should not have intervened after the French defeat...Gulf war,Saddam started that war..
You know that many people can't join the military due to physical problems, it's a tough physical job.....
Sociopath? Why thank you, but I never was able to grasp killing animals for fun...or killing my way to the top.......I did use women for sexual gratification...First off dumbass, if there wasn't a military we wouldn't have a country to provide for those who don't want to work(are you one of those who don't want to?). While billions are spent in military spending, the social programs that were developed by liberals spent 10-100 times that amount. All we have to show for it is $19,000,000,000,000 in debt. Most in poverty ever, 1 in 5 children going to bed hungry, 33,000 born and unborn children executed on the abortion table, lowest participation rate in education, 50% failure rate of those that do participate, inner cities on fire and....... The next president is going to inherit a mess from Obama that may take a century to fix.How many trillions have we spent on actual wars?
What have we gotten out of them?
The war on poverty means actually helping Americans, why would anyone object to that expenditure?
Did anyone actually believe we would reach a point where we have "won" and Americans no longer need help?
The money we spend on a military to police the world comes out of money we could spend on modern infrastructure, education, healthcare and feeding our poor
PLEASE be SPECIFIC, who would fill the vacuum?
Russia, China, Iran or North Korea?
As you know, we are now, and will forever be a WORLD ECONOMY. So please tell us how anyone else filling the vacuum is good for America and our citizens.
Don't say no one, or let everyone take care of themselves. That's a typical Progressive diversion, dodge, whatever you want to call it?
Lame Duck President Obama has simply shown his impotence and timidity and Russia has taken over Crimea and has tanks and combat troops in Ukraine. China is building Islands for combat troops and air bases in the contested islands in the China Sea. North Korea's people are starving and he is doing nuclear testing and launching missiles from submarines. Iran is building a nuclear weapon and the Middle East has exploded since President Obama's and Hillary Clinton's foreign policy failures.
EU, S Korea, Japan
All have more social programs and more modern infrastructure because they can lean on us to defend them
Please explain for us all how having more social programs, making citizens dependent on government instead of personal responsibility a good thing?
The question, by the way, is who would fill the vacuum and how would that be great for America?
What "modern infrastructure" does the EU, South Korea or Japan have which we do not.
Please do not go to high-speed rail. The only one in the US that pays its way is the Acela line in the NE with about 40 million potential riders along the line. Any others in the US are losing money as are most in Europe and Japan. If anything, we should expand and improve our FREIGHT lines.
