I jest, but reducing our military strength is not the right move, neither is leaving our border unsecured.

Iran and North Korea, no nukes, period. We will inspect, our timeline, non-compliance will result in harsh retaliation.<br />Secure the borders. Welcome those who would come to the US, the right way.<br />Bolster US Forces, as trouble is brewing in the world, and a trained force is far superior to a rookie force.

BUT, if necessary, which it is, Obummer should immediately rehire a team of Republicans like Condi Rice, John Bolton, and, believe it or not, Dick Cheney, among other far more politically astute and highly skilled in foreign policy.
