Thwr are a number of retired soldiers on here. I wonder how they would feel about being in combat with the guy beside you who is always looking out for number one, rather than watching your back?

I know how to function within a team. I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the better of our country.

We have prosperity. What's your point? Should we dust off imperialism, occupy Third World countries so that we can suck them dry?

No we should not. That's why Trump is pulling our military out of 3rd world country and re aligning it to pressure countries like China who is doing great economic harm to us with their currency manipulation and devaluation.

Or is Hilary's plan to stay in 3rd world countries like Libia etc..... better for you?

Trump has done nothing, may yet do nothing with the disposition of US forces. The rest of your statement is projection, as well. So far, the plan seems to have been to make whatever whacko statements one must to squeeze votes out of whackos.

From a social justice warrior standpoint, I'd have the same conclusion.

From a Capitalist standpoint. I draw a much different conclusion.

I try to align myself with the center. I feel our society is giving social justice too much importance.

Some social justice is good. But there are limits. A balance must be kept.

You don't get it. The Americans are looking at it from a social justice point of view as they are tryng to guarentee the free navigation of the South China Sea. If they were looking at it strictly from what is most advantageous to them, they would probably back the Chinese, their number two trading partner. The Americans are going out on a limb to protect freedom of the seas against a more pragmatic stance. It is like the way that they have supported israel through thick and thin, despite the damage that it has done to fhe US in various forms, over the years, such as poisoning the relationships that they had with those who supplied their oil. They have backed what they see as social justice over something more pragmatic and coldblooded.

My opinion stands. A less socialist injustice mesmerized US goverment will have success. Obama was by far the most social injustice concentrated goverment in US history. It's time to head back towards the center. We have gone too far left.

Trump was the right choice out of the two, no matter how bad both candidates were.

I've noticed the Trumpites have generally gone from "Rah rah Trump! He will fix everything" to "Well, at least Trump is better than Hillary".

I suspect, they're starting to understand that, handing tax dollars to corporations is something that Justin would embrace, poking Jina isn't going to get the results they expected and Trump isn't going to return a significant amount of manufacturing jobs to the US without major tariffs and price increases.

Really, there's two things to do when you realize you are wrong. You can sling insults at those that have shown you the errors of your ways or you can stop being a snowflake and simply admit that you misjudged the situation.

Actually the reduction of the size of the Canadian navy had little to do with lack of regard for Canada's coastline. It had to do with the ending of World War II and the fact that the hundreds of escort vessels that comprised most of Canada's navy were no longer needed.

Does that explain the situation of our current navy? Thst is what I was referring to, not so much how the post-war navy was demobbed. I was talking about today and now.

It must be pretty bsic if they are giving it back already. The real news is that China was able to bag it in the first place.
