The Illegitimate President

The U.S. Navy has unveiled a new recruitment video commercial boasting that it is now a “global force for good.” Apparently, the U.S. Navy isn’t just for America any more. The implication in the video is that the U.S. Navy is no longer just for protecting the nation’s shores, but has a much more vast mandate for global service and foreign military interventionism.

Of course, this is yet another example of why having a large standing army was contrary to the founding principles of the nation – when the leaders get bored, they begin employing the military in ever more creative ways.
