Just to list a few stats.

No other military or combination of militaries could even begin to inflict the slightest numbers of casualties on the United States military in a conventional war.

Consider: The U.S. spends close to what the entire rest of the world spends in defense. $711 billion. Per year. The next closest is China at $143 billion.

The M1 Abrams tank has seen more combat than just about any other tank on the battlefield today. It has never been knocked out by enemy fire. (Completely killed). Ever.

China has less than 500 Type 99 tanks, that have just been developed, and are not even close to being as good as the Abrams. We have 8,700 Abrams.

We have 10 aircraft carriers. The good kind. Everyone else has 10. Combined. And they are mostly small ships that can launch helicopters.

There are 8,400 attack helicopters in the world. The U.S. has 6,400 of them.
How much stronger is the US military compared with the next strongest power?

Well, overwhelming firepower is a good thing! Whether were repelling the jihad or zombies. ;)

Lol. You must refer to the impending Zomby Apocalypse. It was just meant to point out that we do have a sufficient military presently and have had so since WW2. The only army capable of picking itself up and setting down to defeat anybody anywhere in the world, anytime. The fear mongering, exaggerations, misrepresentations and outright lies by some, notwithstanding.

Obama's foreign policy was dismal, been a huge critic of it. And John McCain spent five years being tortured in a POW camp, I'll take his commentary over anyone else's. But in the end, as other republican legislators have stated, torture is a violation of both US and International Law and won't be returning to America. If Trump does so, it will be in the same covert manner that Reagan sold weapons to one of our enemies in the ME to help some butchers come to power in Central America. ;)

The republican governor of Massachusetts has declared that he will fight federal defunding of the eight sanctuary cities and counties of Massachusetts.
While Massachusetts is not a sanctuary state itself, it contains at least eight sanctuary cities and one sanctuary county, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, has indicated he would oppose federal efforts to cut funding to the state’s sanctuaries.

I have never voted, never even registered. Until now I never saw a need for it. Career politicians are all the same so why should I care who's sticking it to me. For the first time, there is hope that our president may actually make things better. I vow to register for the 1st time and vote to reelect Trump.
Update......I have a brand new never before used registration card in drawer in kitchen. Looking forward to exercising that right for the first time.
