It can be correctly argued that many enemies of the United States have been overly feared. Many of our enemies have been small countries or groups with a limited destructive power. Now I’ll add to that list Russia since I recently discovered that they have only one aircraft carrier which is in bad shape. Eastern Europe may have a reason to fear Russia but the US has none outside the nuclear weapons that have long been present in Russia’s arsenal. China is a greater potential threat although they are still far away right now and we would have a long time to prepare for them before they reached our shore. North Korea and Iran are really jokes and can be easily defeated. I think my nation should spend more time making butter, and yes new treatments for chronic illnesses like mental illnesses.

I think we fear them too much, too. I hope we don’t go to war with any of them, because they might draft my cousins. I don’t think they would draft me because of my two previous psychiatric hospitalizations, but if they did that would really suck, too.
