PD, I am not reading the link. I don’t have any interest in reading about warfare. That’s why I didn’t like history in school, because it was obsessed with wars. We have to rise above those primitve ways of handling things.
Our police force acts as a deterrent, and a very small military would be the same. The current US military is in offense mode. It starts wars in countries around the world, and meddles in their foreign affairs.
I am in favor of a small military which would act to defend us, and stays on American soil. Our diplomats are the ones who should be all over the world, not our soldiers.
I dislike your racist comments against Chinese. I have Chinese friends, and they are not at all as you describe. I wonder too about your comments to send me “back to Berlin”. You know the current US is comprised of foreigners from all over, who ousted the native Indians and Mexicans. Should I send you back to Ireland or Poland or Africa, so the Indians could be returned to their rightful land?
No hard feelings against you. I still look forward to meeting you some day, even though our views on the military are at opposite ends.
