well markass my theory is , if you keep em on the defensive, if they're constantly worried about Marines kicking the door down, they dont have as much time to try and attack here....


And how long do you suppose we keep Marines over there doing just that?

10, 15, 20 years? If that's your plan, always keep them on the defensive then we're gonna have a pretty weakened and thinned out military very soon, so expect to put your money where your mouth is (unless you have already served) because a draft will be on its way.

Thankfully though I don't see that happening, all we're doing now really is saving face.

Terrorism, like the war on poverty and war on drugs, is a war against a faceless enemy and one that will never truly be defeated.
