THE ROLE OF OUR MILITARY
 |
|
We do not need to be the world’s policeman. For one
thing, most other countries resent it. Second, we aren’t
very good at it. We are in places we shouldn’t be and
not in places we should be, so let’s not be anywhere
unless we are asked and there is a compelling reason for
us to be there. If a dictator in Africa is allowing
people to hack the arms off of each other, then maybe we
have a moral obligation (not the right) to do something
to stop it. Beyond that, we shouldn’t be spending all of
our money stationing our soldiers all over the world.
“Walk softly and carry a big stick” was excellent
advice. I propose that we stick to that advice by
greatly reducing our presence overseas and focusing our
attention on the defense of our country. |
