America is not the nation she once was. We are being attacked from within and without. No matter what the numbers show, Americans are being decimated in the work force by Obamacare (working less than 40 hours per week) and by illegal immigrants claiming jobs at a much cheaper rate, along with the free trade agreement sending many of our jobs overseas. But enough of my diatribe! I would like to know what you feel the greatest threat is and what we can do together to confront these threats!

The destruction of our constitution by all three branches of our government. We have a solid system provided it’s followed. Many of our other issues would go away if our “leaders” did their jobs properly.

I would argue that one of the greatest threats to our nation is our ever shrinking pool of citizens eligible for military service. When ~70% of the population is ineligible to fight in our military IMO there's a problem that needs to be addressed.

SFC James Sczymanski, in the event that recruitment becomes a problem I'm sure certain eligibility factors can easily be waived away like tattoos, but a significant chunk of that percentage is for more damning things like health problems (obviously including obesity) and criminal records. Even criminals can be redeemed to fight for their country, but health is a much more difficult obstacle to tackle as a national security issue.

Not just a shrinking pool of eligible citizens, but a shrinking pool of willing citizens. Even more so A shrinking pool of will citizens that are also eligible.

I would hazard a guess the lack of involvement by most citizens in what their representative in Washington (as well as their state legislature) is voting for or against and why. One honest state legislator told me once that he had to vote on x number of bills each year. He read up on those he was personally interested in as well as those that his constituents told him they were hot about. The rest he swapped votes with someone else to get his passed. He said he honestly didn't have the time, energy or help to honestly know all about the bills he had to vote on. If he abstained because of this lack he was a "slacker" and if he voted on something he didn't understand he was misleading his public. Tough answer from an honest man.
