Yeah, keeping our navy in our most vulnerable area of operations doesn't make sense.
is war what you want
i have no doubt that the south china sea is vital to our interests, but would it not be nice not to be the only nation to put lives and wealth in the line of fire
on another tentacle, the purpose of the military is to present as so ferocious that no one wants to attack it...one can only hope china sees it that way
And it worked, but we didn't stop there, we not only wanted not to be attacked, we also wanted to run other countries(aka satellites).
