Our nation has troops in 130 nations. Our nation has over 700 bases world wide and 572,000 troops overseas. Our generals tell us we have stretched our military too thin. We have given aid to nations that do not have our best interest at heart. We need a more humble foreign policy and we should avoid nation building. We must choose our friends more carefully and guard against our enemies more diligently. Those we place in power to represent the interest of our nation must understand the cultural and religious as well as the military realities of the present world.
