No we're not. That's your opinion. Pretty sure the constitution doesnt say "Defend Europe and Korea."
- philwelch 13y agoThose would be the North Atlantic Treaty and the Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United States and the Republic of Korea, respectively. Renegotiating or reneging on these treaties would be a means of reducing American military obligations, but you could at least be honest enough to come out and say we should do that instead of pretending these treaties don't exist. My point is that just looking at the defense budget doesn't give you the whole picture. You also have to consider what benefit is provided by that budget before you decide what you're willing to give up to save money. Did you even read my comment all the way through?
