Most Americans think US military should ‘defend freedom abroad,’ survey says
By: Meghann Myers   1 day ago

Three out of four Americans believe that U.S. troops should intervene overseas when freedom is threatened or human rights abuses are apparent in other countries, according to a survey released Tuesday.

More than 1,000 U.S. adults responded to the second annual national defense survey conducted by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. Most of them believe the U.S. should have a more active foreign policy, and be more engaged in international affairs.

“Although pollsters have long noted the existence of isolationist sentiment in the U.S., the pervasiveness of this perspective is debatable. Here we find it to be very much in the minority,” according to the survey’s executive summary.

Its a global world.  Even though we have borders they are not secure.  If we don't defend freedom abroad we surely will loose it at home. 

We saw it on 9/11.  We see people trying to escape from crime and violence on our Southern border every day, hour and minute.  They are coming here and bringing it with them.

I applaud Trump for designating Cartel terrorist.  I hope this will enable us to take action against the dangerous Cartel business that has taken over our cities and Mexico.

While I do think we should 'defend freedom abroad', IMHO, it will all be for naught if we don't secure our own borders first!!  We have all kinds of people coming across from over 30 different countries.  How many are terrorists?  How many are forming 'sleeper cells' just waiting for the opportune time to strike?
