"In 2016, America dropped at least 26,171 bombs authorized by President Barack Obama. This means that every day in 2016, the US military blasted combatants or civilians overseas with 72 bombs; that’s three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day" https://old.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/x332z...
Black sites, extraordinary renditions, torturing people in third countries ... that's deterrence?
Imagine foreign power's drones over your own country, over your city. Imagine hearing exploding homes in your town, maybe few homes away. Imagine unmarked millitary men going through your street and home with their rifles scaring your children. Imagine that your children would refuse to play outside when it isn't cloudy, because they're afraid of blue skies. You cannot, can you? Would you feel safe and glad?
Imagine foreign powers overturning your democraticaly elected leaders and instead putting in their puppets, all for profit again, of course.

With 5+millions of millitary contractors and many more employees, many of them here, maybe this quote will fit.
