Please get a map. We cannot defend America or our interests from Fort Bragg or Norfolk NAS or San Diego. We need forward presence and forward friends and shared intelligence.

Allies give us access and bases.TommyHawk4U109🇺🇸 (@TommyHawk4U109)America should always do it alone, always plan on doing it alone without some second rate help.
