You need to watch Red Dawn again :)

  Well, that is a fine movie. Your point falls flat, not because we do need to be able to deal with a scenario like that. However, we also need to quit creating extremist groups, who use weapons we will often sell them to use! Case in point is a number of governments we did not like, and to help them out of power, we armed their extreme factions, and guess who ends up bigger, often in power after the carnage? Yeah. At this point, there are generations of people who do not like us that much. Iraq was a war for choice over oil, just as one easy example. And sanctions! Helping those undesirable governments out of power by starving their people does tend to make those people enemies. My point here is we are creating potentials that we then need to defend against! That's in addition to the ones we would see anyway. Like I said, the piece is an insult.
