“Each of you begins your career in the Army at a crucial moment in American history. We are restoring the fundamental principles that the job of the American soldier is not to rebuild foreign nations, but defend — and defend strongly –our nation from foreign enemies.
We are ending the era of endless wars. In its place is a renewed, clear-eyed focus on defending America’s vital interests. It is not the duty of U.S. troops to solve ancient conflicts in faraway lands that many people have never even heard of. We are not the policemen of the world.”- President Donald J. Trump, in a U.S. Military Academy West Point speech, June 13, 2020
The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
Too late for my career but music to my ears because that turned into pure craziness.
Very inspiring to see Trump consistently stick with his vision. For once, me (non-statist libertarian) and my neo-conservative father are on the same page (candidate-wise) politically. Even if it cost me some “friends”.
AMEN! it’s about time someone wised up to that fact. As a veteran of 3 tours into SE Asia I can well attest to the fact we are not the worlds police and fighting foreign conflicts is not the militaries job. Our soil, Our country, Our values, Our way of life, are the primary focus of Our military. So why are we still in NATO spending our hard earned money to defend someone else’s country that they are only nominally willing to pay for??? You want our help defending your country, fine, here’s the bill, you are paying for everything, even the wages and benefits for the personal assigned. You don’t like it, well, you can always defend your country with your citizens, it is your country is it not!
No moment
I had to go look it up – here’s that point in the speech:

Wow.
Actually, the whole speech is worth watching if not just reading.
