Only one country is blowing things up daily on the opposite side of the planet from its homeland; can you remember that last time one of its pilots died in combat? American actions in Pakistan and Yemen, for example, have absolutely nothing to do with defending itself and everything to do with stimulating an economy that's been addicted to war since 1945, at least. War will vanish from the page of time or humanity will; think of it as Natural Selection. I admit we should be spending war dollars rebuilding the US.You want American pilots to die. They don't need to die but what you're saying is we shouldn't use drones to fight our wars. Wars that are going to happen as terrorist are dead set on taking over large parts of our world because of "control" and idiocy". Daily these terrorist blow up their own countries and you honestly want them to spread??? Not a good option.
If we were smart half of our airforce functions would be done by drones. Why should we risk our men in the next major war? People like you would of been against every advancement of the past 3,000 years saying what you're saying and you're just as much of a dupe for believing that America doesn't need to be defended. This is where I think you're off base and just wrong.
If America could defend its self without putting our children's blood on the line. Why not? It isn't like war is going away.
I'll admit that we shouldn't be nation building and it is idiocy.
