I'm surprised I have to explain this to you. The US government doesn't work for
The American people anymore. Hasn't for some time - which explains why some of
Z2 comments calling out US foreign policy to Z1 sysops like we support them end
up annoyng the people trying to enact change. Is that what you're trying to
accomplish?
 
The US military has a significant presence in 38 countries - providing
protection and defensive services in many of them. I'd like to see them all
closed down and the military pulled back to the US. If other countries want
protection services, they can pay military contractors to do so!

If the US wants to go to war, they can do so according to the constitution and
have congress declare war and procure funds. I'm sick of police actions.

As for using the military to solve the race issues in America, that's another
can of worms. It'll take more than troops on the ground, and we have a law
called Posse Comitatus that prevents our military from deploying at home.
