And he would like to replace it with what? Wimpy puppies. Easily squashed puppies. I'll vote for "Death from Above" any day.

History tends to repeat itself? He rolled into Kuwait like another in history rolled into Poland. I supported kicking his ass back into Iraq from the beginning. Even if this girlie-man did also, with the military he proposes we have, we probably couldn't have.
Quote: If the Saudis invited the US into SA to help defend them from Iraq, maybe he would offer military help. Or not, I really don't know.
With what?! Few thousand men? Saddam had over a million soldiers. We need might to offer any meaningful assistance.
Quote:Who said anything in that video about not protecting US land? I didn't get the idea there that he wants some sort of total disbanding of all military.
Yes who did say anything about total disbanding of all military forces? Who said anything about not protecting our land. I know I didn't mention either of these things. I said the dipshit was advocating pussifying the U.S. and that would make America vunerable and uneffective at keeping the real bullies off the countries in that hemispheres' backs.
Quote:Where do you see weakness? You don't have to be a bully to be strong.
If I don't see strength I see weakness. You have to be strong to defend yourself and others against bullies.
Quote:And shouldn't the US maybe come to its own aid, fixing its own backyard to improve life for its citizens, before spending shitloads of money helping one shitty theocracy fight another one?
Kuwait wasn't a 'shitty theocracy'. Neither was Iraq. And of right now, neither is Afghanistan.
Quote: I don't know to what extent Dusty would or wouldn't help other countries militarily if they were to request it. I know what I would do most of the time though.
Dusty would have a military worth a shit even if he wanted to give 100% military support. You know, like if Mexico was invaded by Nazis or Aliens or something.
Quote:I hate middle eastern politics. Every fucking country there is a theocracy.
Wrong! Click here and edumacate thyself.

Quote:Seriously though, it sounds like he just wants to stop the unnecessary overseas stuff that causes a lot of killing and suffering of people, and the spending of tons of money that could be made better use of.
You think all that "unnecessary overseas stuff" does not prevent a lot more killing and suffering of people than it causes? Shall we pull out of Afghan and leave all those woman in the hands of the Taliban? With the military DustyBunny wants the U.S. to have we would have no choice. We would probably at the LEAST choose between Iraq and Afghan. Which do you think we would choose?
(Hint: The oil is in Iraq.)
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
