First off you are correct that he would make it more difficult to send troops abroad, that is because we will not have enough troops to send anywhere, downsizing the American Army, Navy and AirForce will weaken this nation to a point where we be will not be able to send enough troops to deal with issues that Must be dealt with, Afganistan is a good example.
Secondly, those roops overseas are not spending large amounts of money in those Nations they are stationed in, the majority of their money is still spent here. Then there is the issue of once they are back a large number of them will be laid off by your genius, meaning more people on unemployment and less money spent on the economy and fewer trained soliders to defend this nation. BAD IDEAS, no matter how much sugar coating is spread over them by saying they will be phased back so it will take a while for the damage to affect the nation, are still BAD IDEAS. Not to mention his ideas on Abortion, Taxes, the FED, EPA, and Education, just to mention a few of his other BAD IDEAS. Thankfully, Paul will Never be President, but go ahead enjoy your dreams while they last, most Americans know Pauls Dream would be a Nightmare for America and Reject him and his ideas
So keeping the status quo and having all these bureaucrats is the solution? Agencies that just push paper around. And with Afghanistan we accomplished what exactly? Fine we rooted out Bin Laden's training camps. 10 years later what has really changed there? As soon as we leave the Taliban takes over again.
Face it, these policies have failed, we have a bloated federal government. Our foreign policy is a failure.

Flip that switch!!!
I don't see status quo. Afghanistan, for example, was forgotten for Iraq, and for the second time the US government did that. The first time, it was under Reagan. I call both, Afghanistan and Iraq, his mess. And Pakistan goes to Nixon.

Nope, I do believe in reform, but not what Paul is suggesting.
We had to go into Afgaistan and had thewar not been put on the back burner we would be done and out of there by now.
Again Reform is fine, pulling everyone back to our borders is not.

What was our objective in Afghanistan? How would we be done there? Just because you have a few elections and push the Taliban around, is that the objective?
I do agree the Iraq made us lose focus on Afghanistan but you can't nation build if the people don't want it. And it seems clear that the Afghans don't want what we want for them.
Like Iraq. Its fine that Saddam is gone, but a country that can produce one leader like him, can produce another one.
I really don't see how this interventionism really changes what is going to happen anyway.

Sorry you missed it, but I am not for Nation Building, I would prefer to fight a war as they should be, ala Sherman. Hunt down the terrorists and kill them, hunt down the Taliban and kill or put them in prison. I would hope that the People of Afganistan would use the time to take their Nation and make it better, but that is up them them to deal with.
It will be too late before they see the man was right on the money as he has been for 30 years, trying to spread the message of the Constitution.
Gotta love Huckabees one nation BS. One Nation isn't responsible for individuals decisions. The individuals need to be held personally responsible. Really ironic since they were in fact invading 2 other nations to try to nab so called individuals responsible. (So the story goes)

Funny how your posts are so uninformative yet you continue to post. How embarrassing for you. Ron Paul has not mentioned down sizing troops just bringing them home. Difficult concept for you to grasp.

lmao how idiotic. Do you actually think we are flying all the food over there to them as well as the clothes they wear? If we did that in itself is waste. Just like many of your posts. If the troops spend 1 dollar there that is 1 that could be spent here. Your posts are often incorrect they are a joke.

LMAO Once again you post yet have no facts to back it up. Show me wear Ron Paul said he was going to lay off the troops. Only someone with little knowledge of how the military works would make such a dumb comment.
Bring the troops home to protect our borders. Nothing to hard to figure out from that unless one has a twisted agenda void of the truth.
