   I do like the impact it has but I think in most cases we are where we are around the world to generally promote "peace" ( in rare instances this may not be the case).
   I admit we do not need to be spread all over the place and for sure this needs to be cut back – way back.
   So change the headline to this
   –
   IMAGINE,,,
   IN TEXAS,,,
   A CHINA MILITARY BASE!!!!
   BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY WAS A THREAT TO WORLD PEACE
   BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY WAS SO F****TED UP A SUPER POWER STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE
   BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY'S LEADERS WERE SO OPPRESSIVE TO THE PEOPLE
   BECAUSE AN EVIL DICTATOR WAS KILLING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
   BECAUSE A DICTATOR CREATED AN IMMORAL EMPIRE IGNORING BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.
   THEY CAME TO OUR AID WITH GOOD INTENTIONS (well, ok, Kev – i know what ur gonna say)
   THANK GOD FOR THE U S A !!!!
   THEY HAVE THROWN OUT LEADERS THAT WE COULD NOT
   THEY HAVE PUT OUR ECONOMY BACK ON TRACK
   THEY HAVE PROVIDED JOBS FOR US
   THEY HAVE TRAINED OUR PEOPLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES
   THEY HAVE REMOVED A TERRORIST REGIME
   THEY HAVE GIVEN US AID
   THEY HAVE GIVEN US FOOD
   THEY HAVE SUPPLIED US WEAPONS FOR US TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE
   THEY PROVIDE US WITH A POLICE FORCE TO TRY TO KEEP TERRORISTS IN CHECK
   THEY HAVE PROVIDED US WITH RESOURCES WE COULD NOT HAVE EVER PRODUCED ON OUR OWN.
   WHY WOULD WE WANT THEM TO LEAVE – THEY PROVIDE US WITH JOBS
   WE LOVE THESE PEOPLE FOR THE HELP THEY HAVE PROVIDED

   Hi "Liz."

   Please name a single instance since WWII that our presence has resulted in peace or less death than it might have otherwise.

   Intentions don't matter. I want an instance, please.
