"Your speech might resonate better if we were defending our borders from an invasion and occupation ala Red Dawn, but we are the aggresors now doing the occupying, no one should sign up for that sh!t. "
Just give it time, if we fail to defend ourselves enough, and let things slide enough, and only take care of our interests inside our own country, war will come to our land, it will come knocking on our door, and we will be ill prepared to do anything to stop it. As a matter of fact, we already were attacked on our own soil, Sept. 11th, and if you had your way, we would have done nothing about it.
Lets just all live in Peace you say, right? Get rid of the military completely, stop volunteering to serve this country, fail to defend our interests, consistently fail to defend ourselves even against direct attacks (like those on our ships, our buildings, our own Pentagon), and eventually the whole world will be proud of us, love us for the peaceful country that we are, and let us live warm fuzzy peaceful lives. Surely no one would attack us on our own soil, surely no one would disagree with our way of life and come over here and try to tell us how to live. Surely everyone would see things just like we do and live and let live, right?
