Still in harm’s way U.S. foreign policy remains overmilitarized

AIL

Jet fuel that's a good one.
That is the only foreign policy America knows kick the shit out of poor underarm countries , If you can't have their resources for dirt cheap then you have to take out that government that stands for the right of self determination and install a US puppet.

That is US foreign policy in a nutshell and then there is the other Foreign policy ask Israel if its with them when this involves the middle east . Can't do anything in that area if it does not have the blessing of Israel.
A total waste of money and lives both GI's and those poor countries that have any type of resources.



Still in harm’s way U.S. foreign policy remains over militarized

I will employ this column to consider the state of U.S. foreign policy under President Barack Obama before I take off on a two-week trip to India to try to better understand that richly complicated country.

Another reason to look at foreign policy closely now is that recent presidential debates are revealing a disposition on the part of some candidates to take a hare-brained dive into some of the issues involved.

The primary mistaken tilt in U.S. foreign policy at present is overmilitarization. So far this year America has deployed special-operations forces to a breathtaking 135 nations. One problem is that we don’t know how to end wars and bring all of our troops home. We still have thousands in Germany, Japan, South Korea, Djibouti, Iraq and Afghanistan, mostly remnants of long-ago conflicts.

If the thought of ending such deployments ever crosses the mind of Mr. Obama, his impulse is instantly squashed by a combination of military officers and their civilian counterparts whose careers depend on military entanglements, defense manufacturers and contractors based in congressional districts all over the country and analysts who feed on keeping Americans frightened.

Explain to me just how 4,000 U.S. troops, planes and drones in Djibouti help keep Americans safe.
