The Navy can protect trade and shipping routes, after all that was their original purpose anyways.

Maybe we could redirect some of those resources to protect our borders, Pete?

I just want my country to stop trying to run the whole effin' world and concentrate on taking care of it's own. Is that really so bad?

Regards,
