1919 and 1946 we drew down American forces at the end of the cold war we did not.
This has in turn led to a massive military industrial complex which indirectly forces the United States to meddle in the affairs of the others, engage in long, drawn out, tyrannical wars of occupation, and send 0000s of working class men to their graves while 99% of the American people on feel the war at the gas pump and even then it's only a couple of pennies

Terrorists would be better fought on a much smaller scale and more indirectly through support of democratic movements
China the only forseeable threat on the radar will never be invaded and will never invade and worst case we still have enough nukes to destroy the galaxy
So why?
