the last fathers & and the first fathers and where we are today,what would they do? what would they say? I don't think they would appreciate how weak society has become but I'm sure they would be amazed that we've remained. they would have to be proud of us, right? in a sense?

No they would not be proud and would probably be meeting in local Taverns planning on what to do about it.

This America is not what they envisioned the proof would be to read the letters of the founding fathers.

yeah, to read their letters  and  to fast forward to now, in some areas they would be proud of us , but man have we lost our way.  what would they think about fighting over the second amendment? I don't even have to ask what they would think, I know they would most likely want to know why we allowed for it to be a danger in ways like having thugs in our country and people who hate what they did for us.

yeah, do you think that we should charge them a fee for protecting them or should we leave  them to be taken over by whoever, seriously, I don't really know all these things because a lot has happened since the Fathers  blueprints have been tampered with,"corrupt politicians" bankers and stuff.

So are you saying... Should the Us give up being a super power and let someone else take over? Or give up being a super power and let someone else take over?

The US can't charge nations for protection because a) the military is the force for general stability keep the international trade coming to the US market b ) the US would give up being a super power allowing China and or Russia to swoop in and take the territory seeded to them.

I don't like what it means to be a superpower,that's nukes. We were never suppose to have some of the dealings that we have , like we were never suppose to let banks run us and we did, well not us but the generation that did.

But, as it stands now, I don't want to be based all over the world like that, but I want to be protected from whoever and if we have to be stationed somewhere what can you really do about it?

We shouldn't be so involved and also people shouldn't do some of what they do in other countries too.

Since other countries don't spend half of their GNP on their military just who is going to take over?

The more relevant question is: Will the US spend as much on defense once it pulls back?

If we can ever elect a president that's not owned by the military industrial complex then it's possible.

That is not what we rebelled against.  What we rebelled against was the Mother country not showing the Colonies respect.

They would probably be impressed by how powerful we’ve become but disappointed in allowing socialism to take such a strong hold.  They would probably chew the people out about being stupid and wasteful.  Not Business.  Not the government.  They probably wouldn’t understand how we have allowed government to take such power over us.  And they would be beside themselves why we haven’t used the ballot or even the bullet to get rid of the ruling elite.

Neither do we.  At its peak, I believe, it was no higher than about 23%.  How important do you consider our defense?  This is how to remain strong.  At one time we spent more than the next 25 nations combined did in defense.  That secured this nation and provided a relative peace in the world.  Now we spend about as much as the next 8 nations do.  We have become almost too weak.  And look at the world now.  There is so much chaos now that the world is but a match from catching fire.

We should be increasing.  That will prevent the next ISIS or just the next barbarian.  If we survive this, we need to accept and learn our lesson and return to being a strong nation.
