My breaking point was when fighting-age male “refugees” came flooding west out of Syria, and the keyboard generals demanded that America’s young military men go racing in to Syria to fight the Syrian refugees’ battle. If their own young men won’t fight for their country, then I’ll never support support American troops fighting and dying on their behalf. Of course, Conservative Inc called me racist for not wanting those young male “refugees” settling in my country, and they called my America-first opposition to having our troops die in Syria bigoted nationalism.
Are people like me anti-war? No. We’re strongly in favor of unleashing our military’s holy wrath on those who kill our citizens and threaten our country. We can kill our enemies’ leadership, we can bomb their ports and airstrips out of existence, we can destroy their government and its leaders until they are dead or no longer in control. They are already quickly learning this from President Trump. And here’s the great part – if we “break it” we no longer “bought it.” Colin Powell famously stated that with Iraq, because we broke it we also bought it. No more. If we have to break it, we can leave the leadership dead and its means of war ruined. And then we can leave the mess behind. If another malicious force returns we can do it all over again.
So what does “national defense” mean to America-first conservatives? It means patriotically supporting a strong military that prioritizes protecting the USA and its citizens, defending our borders, defending our sovereignty, swiftly destroying our enemies when necessary, and focusing on strengthening just one nation – the United States of America.
