Touche'. I absolutely agree that all the current wars have very little domestic impact. Perhaps a war tax should be implemented on all residents to make at least the financial impact of the war felt. Maybe that would make people pay closer attention to a conflicts realities and be more vocal with their representatives about war. I am worried that our constant military involvement overseas creates more foreign extremists rather than eliminating them. I also worry, and this is what my post did a poor job of stating, that we slowly slip into a world where we see enemies all around us all the time and begin to insulate ourselves from our closet neighbors.
I'm not an isolationist, but constant low grade warfare around the globe cannot be a long term positive for the United States.
