@mister-moggy removed their quoted postGood idea; since private citizens with rifles are sufficient to defend the nation, let's disband the US military. That would save over $700 billion a year - more than enough to provide every American with healthcare, rebuild our aging infrastructure, transition to clean energy sources, pay off all student debt, etc. etc. etc.

The USA's potential enemies would be delighted.
You cannot stick your head in the sand in the 21st Century, any more than you could in the 20th...
If you are interested in national defense, and, by the way - your way of life, you should avoid isolationism - there's no future in it because you cannot deter bad actors in the global sense.

@johnsim03 saidHe isn't arguing for the abolition of the U.S. military, he's mocking the notion that any adversary in a conventional war would be deterred by a few guys with AR-15s on pickup trucks, compared to the threat posed by the highly trained and very well-equipped U.S. military.

You can't find a better reason for the Second Amendment than a made-up quote? Yikes.
@mister-moggy
The reason nobody wants to invade the US is because it’s full of inbred trailer trash.
Best leave them to murder themselves.
