Does the United States really need to add to the defense budget? I think we need to get the military to better define a wise mix of people, weapons, and strategies to fight the only wars we must fight, without being adventurers. We cannot apply our military to create democracies, that is clear. We cannot apply our military to be the world's policeman, or to force Western ways on other nations. We should be happy to be World Citizens, not World Bullies. We know what we have. Let's be at peace with our way of life, and try to bring our own citizens of all races, creeds, religions, and politics together going forward.
