Retired general tells all

[Kulturkampf]

Sounds like a great plan, actually.

Having a global presence is necessary for immediate reaction to terrorism, to pacifying dictators and murdering their bureaucratic death machines; it is necessary to securing free markets and fighting socialism and religious fundamentalism.

If you were playing a game and trying to construct the most dominant nation, wouldn't you want troops in the middle of a hot spot?

And aren't we the good guys? Or are you all about sectarian violence, Islamo-fascism and instability? Driivng the Jews into the sea and all that?

Seriously, whereabouts does your foolishness stand.
