I have been thinking, which is usally a dangerous thing but the fact is Ribs, me, DG, and some others have been to war and involved in combat. So we have an idea of what things are like under fire and seeing the damage humans sustain when being hit by flying lead of all types.
So I have been rethinking the President's platform on which he ran about ending wars and getting the heck out of places on the other side of the world like Pakisatn, Afghanistan, the middle east in general includig Iran and Iraq.
I haven't figured out HOW to do it but one thing I am thinking is what happens if we just say let those people kill themselves and determine their own destiny and get out of their and worry about our own selves?
Seriously, do we have to be the world's policeman? I am all for being well prepared witha military force that poses a real danger to ANY who would think to do harm to us here at home, but I really find it after decades now tiresome to always be mired in a mess involving ragheads from Eurasia and Somalia in Africa. Kinda far from home and what exactly have we gained except lots of casualties and debt to support all the military equipment, and ammunition supplies?
Could we simply mind our own business for awhile? We have enough problems of our own here and think of the money we could save. Maybe even require and demand a Constituional BALANCED Budget and require paying off the debt every year by a percentage until it is wiped out..
Just some thoughts but I like several of them....
