Sck,
I've seen the Democrats version of "anything', mostly it looks like laying down and letting our troops get shot at.

I joined the military in 1978, Jimmy's era of talk and shuffle with head down and silly southern grin ruined the military and our image.
In 80 Regan came in and we had 12 years of 'don't mess with us' that brought down the USSR and ended most of the support for the over 200 little wars that we were not involved in overseas (read some world history) but that the USSR was supporting. The only mistake made then was not beating the crap out of Syria and Iran for their support of the Beriut bombing. We should have leveled them both.

Then 8 years of Clinton playing commander in chief and bombing aspirin factories and ignoring intelligence reports while cutting funding to our eyes and ears and military while my buddies died in Yemen, Mozambique and elsewhere.
Then Bush, and yeah - all the being wrong etc - and being wrong doesn't mean lying except to democrats who do it on purpose - and while we might be out and about looking for trouble it is the other guy who ducks his head and shuffles his feet, not America.

I prefer it that way. The bottom line is among our allies and friends in the world there isn't one or two we could not stand to lose. America first damn it, period.
You want to go back to the weak days of Clinton and Carter you go ahead. I prefer to make my way with a strong military backing me up with action not bad plans and poor direction from the top.
I don't support preemptive wars, I think they are against what America should stand for, but I highly encourage fighting in the other guys home, not ours. Which mall do you want to see attacked here in America to save a couple of lives/property damage elsewhere?
