Isn't the US military involvement in over 135 foreign countries - to DEFEND America? That's what I have always been told by most members around the fire.
Defend America? In Belgium? Germany? Italy? Serbia? Spain? Turkey? Britain? Defend America from what, exactly? What is Turkey going to do to threaten America that troops stationed in Turkey could stop?
Lots of people have been taken in by the propaganda that service in the military equals defense of the American public. I call BS, unless somebody can show me a mechanism. I say service in the military equals defense of the ruling elite.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
