We need to have an overwhelmingly powerful military if we want to survive as a country. We could have been Switzerland, but we chose our path. Now we are committed to it. We need to be able to nuke the universe into oblivion, and we need conventional superiority as well. Overwhelming and redundant military superiority and preparedness.

@sogdianrock I would rather we were Switzerland. We just have to sleep in the bed we have made.

You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership. Dwight D. Eisenhower
