You keep the people OUT of the U.S.

It's like if you can't reach me, it's a little hard for you to punch me.

Yes, additionally, you don't waste the money going over THERE to look for them. All you have to do is stay home and kill whoever invades your country.

How exactly do you propose we do THAT? We cant even keep a Mexican out who simply wants to come here to work, and you think we're going to keep those out who want to kill us?

um.. yeah, that'll happen..

Let me think, the purpose of the military is national defense.

Wouldn't that mean they're in the WRONG nation, unless they're RIGHT HERE?

NONE are acceptable to me if they are incurred for the wrong purpose.

WHAT does the number of murders in the US have to do with Iraq?

Will you next say Iraq's casualty numbers are fine because more people die of cancer?

So your proposing that instead of having a military, we have 500,000 border patrol agents?

I say we have to many dying yearly due to car wrecks.. Lets get rid of cars.. They are of course dying for the wrong purpose..

Where is the outrage over the murders in the USA? They clearly have died for the wrong reason... (one would assume that at least some of them have)

I propose we have a military that's NOT used for nation building, as the current POTUS claimed he didn't believe it should be used in his 2000 campaign.
