Defeatist, no? Are you saying you'd rather Americans be unarmed and follows in the footsteps of the Commonwealth countries?
What I’m saying is that I don’t think it moves the needle very much. I don’t see any scenario in which the US military is outmatched in firepower and I find it ridiculous to claim otherwise.
I'd suggest that by comparison to the EU, the Commonwealth, et al, we're faring much better, if still disappointingly. It's not binary.
