MODERATORS
Yeah, if history has taught as nothing else, it's that the guy with the biggest stick usually wins. There are many criticisms of the U.S. military, but no one could accuse it of being weak. That kind of deterrence is invaluable.
If only they wouldn't use that force to invade half the planet...
The peace of Americans is paid for by the terror of dozens of nations. It ain't cool.
I can't say I disagree. There is much to criticise.
My fear is, this approach is unsustainable in general, and cannot be effectively applied for global security.
It's not just US military being poorly led.
