None. There has never been a US president in our history without inserting our military into some kind of action around the world. 


How come we can't have a strong military for defense only?  I am good with having a formidable military..for defense only. The two are mutually exclusive. It is very possible to have unparalleled military might and peace at the same time.

Remember how fierce-sounding "battle hardened troops" is . . .

How can we practice and rotate munitions stock without a playground?

Defense only . . .  :rofl:   :rofl:   :rofl:    Are you crazy?   :wave:

That was my answer. There was no such president.

America is a powerful enough force to battle-harden our troops as we go. 

It worked for FDR.

No, they won't.

Not unless there is big, big money behind each robot. 

And in that case, the cheap robots will swarm and kill them.

There's no way to beat the math. The nation who MIC works for the government will beat the nation whose government works for the MIC, every **** time.

Want a REASON WHY we often need to be the first to attack??

Dec.7th, 1941. Pearl Harbor, HI.

WE as a nation were in an ISOLATIONIST POSTURE and lost bigly for nearly a year. WE only had ~600,000 men in uniform at that time. Had the BATTLE OF MIDWAY been a success by the Japanese, there is a good chance we would have capitulated to their demands and lost the war totally. 

Be a **** IDIOT if you want, but taking the lead often means taking it to your enemy first, MORON!!

Well, I don't know. Maybe if we would stop **** with other countries by putting them into poverty, so we can exploit their resources, they may not need a reason to attack us. 

Just a thought.
