I just happen to believe our military should be restructured more towards protecting our own borders and shores, and less toward trying to be "World Police". We would be safer and have the money to pay for other things, such as our massive debt.

If you put aside the Dems false rhetoric and examine actions they're as deep as the GOP, no use singling us out.
There is a couple things many empires have in common in the end. A fixation on appearance (check), a preponderance of wealth (check), a breakdown of the family unit (check), an entrenched interest with vast land holdings (check), a widely held belief that they can freeze things or at least that nothing will change (check).
It'll be a sad day for the world when we finally end the experiment that began after ww2 and withdraw into our own borders.
