Isolationism breeds war, as the rest of the world pushes their own interest. Why are you a blame America first guy? Why are you an America hater like the islamonazis? Don't give me that I was in the military for a couple years crap....Who cares
i know you don't. You'd never join the military. Most awesome part of being in the military is rarely having to deal with your sort.
But to the point, you keep dragging out the word "hate" like an errant five year old whose been caught using his crayons on the wall.
Everyone agrees that Perry's mission to Japan triggered the Meiji restoration. This isn't even a fact in dispute. We created a militarized Japan, because the Japanese DIDN'T want to get dominated like China or Vietnam or the Philippines.
The problem with all you guys who whine about "isolationism", is that most of the Americans who end up in the graveyards don't really benefit from the war, nor do their families.
I'd say of all the Wars we fought, WWII and the Civil War were the only ones that were justified. Every other one was over some bullshit that was no threat to us.
