A nearly meaningless platitude is all you've got? Now that was a very meaningful response. Freedom is not free to anyone. When you comprehend that we may be able to discuss it. See ya.

Compared to most other countries, we are much less at risk, with Canada and Mexico as land neighbors and vast oceans seperating us from everyone else. CP: The UK, Poland and Russia did not think they would be invaded in WWII. Nor did Belgium, Norway et al. Korea was not suppose to happen because MacArthur was in Japan. Cambodia, Laos might have been paranoid. Kuwait did not expect to be invaded. $h3!t happens! Even though most of these countries had non invasion Pacts or Treaties with the invading country. We might be attacked, but it's VERY unlikely we'll be invaded. Why do you think we're so paranoid? Just last week Mexico leadership suggested the invasion of the USA because of the "fence". They can't fool us. They have already invaded. <g> Personally, I expect my military and political leadership to be a little paranoid about protecting this country. If not, we should be hiring someone else. I'm wondering how much revenue the USA picks up from selling military "stuff" to the other countries on the list that you posted. Any idea?
