We're decades past achieving MAD. No country on Earth is going to attack us. That leaves borderless terrorism, which we can't send a giant army or navy to defeat. Before you say "we did beat them", I'll say "we created more than we defeated". The ME is now an open, festering sore, thanks to your heroes. And you're still listening to them? Unless you've got a few more stupid, senseless pre-emptive wars planned, what exactly are you going to do with this giant military machine? Admire it? Keep feeding it? For what? I'm saying transform it. Part to join with UN forces for when force absolutely, positively must be used, and the rest assigned to building and humanitarian missions. There are more than a billion people in the world today who are suffering and in need of help. It doesn't take a genius to connect those dots.
