#6  ...going to be easier with someone who is interested in America's security than the worlds. I know the argument of consequences, but you've got to face the reality that we can not be the world's policeman and priorities have to be set. Hell, first to be is your own homeland security by securing your own borders. If you can't do that, why worry about 'what ifs' in decades or years out?

#5  Unfortunately the military is a spent force at this point. It needs to be pulled back and have a good 2-3 years of rebuilding done. Seriously doubt this is going to happen no matter who is in charge.
