Sadly, they have absolutely nothing to do with the discussion of why we have such a strong presence overseas

That was not what the junior high educated OP asked.

Yes, I went to junior high school. Thanks.

I don't see what is so wrong with my post that you feel the need to belittle me. I clearly stated that these were rambling thoughts. Next time you have incomplete information and ideas I will make sure to let you know what an idiot you truely are for not knowing everything.

To be oblivious to the implications of this fact

I don't ever remember taking "relevancy of the military 101" in high school.

You'll understand when youre older, now run along...haha, Im joking

If we downsized our military to fullfil your desires, your quality of life would soon become diminished..believe it or not their are some evil mofos out there(whole chinese gov. among others) who would quickly be knocking at our doors. Chinese expansion is the single biggest threat to America, not terrorists, my bitches.

Really? There are actually powerful countries out that would attack us if they had the chance? That sounds horrible.

Why hasn't anyone told me of this threat before. Should we attack China right now to defend ourselves (ok i keed).

SHIFTING THE ONUS OF PROOF: This is when your opponent makes a claim, provides no evidence for it, and then expects you to find evidence of it. Your opponent is making the claim, so he should logically have to provide evidence. Shifting the onus (or burden) of proof to you is a fallacy and a very low tactic to engage in. Often, a Creationist will make phantom claims and, then, act like they are common knowledge and he shouldn't have to back them up.

Then maybe you'd like to explain how our military is used so effectively, rather than belittling anyone who doesn't see what you believe is obvious.
