Thoughts on ending American debet

It is no secret that the U.S. is broke. I do not believe that there is a easy answer to united States money problem. A lot of things where promised to the public, one of which was that Iraqi would bank role the U.S. with cheap fuel. Another was that we would have the world behind us to take some of the burden of our shoulders. On the eve of over four thousand dead service members and to be honest I no longer know what the best guess is on the civilian count is, I can have come to only one conclusion.

I believe that we take the radical stance and have the armed forces only be used in instances of national defense. So yes that means taking troops out of Iraqi and Afghanistan, in the case of Afghanistan we should get Interpol, CIA and what other agencies will join the cause. It is common knowledge that no matter how well trained the army is, and they are. The Army is not meant for policing and nation building. Like I said earlier Interpol is the police and organizations like the peace corps are better trained for nation building.

Now, back to the military I have been hearing for a while now one of the most feared words in the English language, the word is draft. Will we or wont we, well with being spread as thin as they are and being forced to stay with stop loss orders something must give. I like you do not like the idea of forced service, not just because it bring s up visions of Vietnam but it dose not work. People forced to serve will not be affective to American security.
So what do we do to keep this from happening? Well I think the easy answer is we bring them home. This is far from a revolutionary idea I know. Though I believe we should only have minimal troops in places that we are contractually obligated to have. A example is South-east Asia more to the point Japan. This should in my opinion make both sides happy. We are no longer the police of the world and we still have a voluntary armed forces. I have heard arguments about a obligation to help the world because we are a prosperous nation. I think this is very noble and I think you are a very brave individual to go and fight on foreign soil. I wish you the best of luck and I hope your new nation will provide you with the best training you can receive.
Before I am written off I would just like to say; the United States is falling apart. Dams are failing, roads and bridges are crumbling and with all the money we have spent for two wars this nation could have had universal health care if it so chose. Or they could have sent a great deal of kids to college, or better yet funded stem cell research and brought the U.S. back to the for front of disease curing.
