You think somebody is going to storm the beaches of Miami? C'mon, don't be ridiculous.

Nobody's gonna invade the US, what a preposterous idea. This is precisely the fear based propaganda I'm talking about.

It's a preposterous idea with the size of the military forces of US currently. It would not be preposterous with 0 military force.

And to be clear, the US has abused the army for half a century for unjust causes, and I'm not defending that, but the concept of an army can be moral in the context of rivalling aggressive nations.

Nobody invades because they know they'll meet an army. Same reason nobody invades France.
