You can't fight them with nuclear weapons and giant armadas of ships.
And having military bases in other countries all over the world? Yeah...that's costing us a lot of money and gaining us a lot of hatred from people worldwide.
I have long said that we can't have a serious discussion about cutting the budget without talking about cutting the military. Sadly, a lot of people flip out the second you mention that.
