Pleading for Sane, Constitutional Foreign Policy

Help me understand how it’s a bad idea to close all our foreign bases and bring our brave fighting men and women home; to reserve the use of force for defense only.; and to end all foreign aid.

If you personally see injustices, etc taking place overseas and you want to go and help or fight, great! More power to you. But what I’m against is taking money, by force, from those Americans who earned it and spending it to help, protect and defend people outside our country. In addition, I’m against forcing our military to risk and sometimes lose their lives over there. They took an oath to support and defend the constitution. Help me understand how they do that in Iraq, Afgan., and elsewhere. The doctrine of preemptive strikes is wrong. Force is for defense, only.
