I'm more for the pre-World-War-II stance of "you leave us alone, we
leave you alone; you attack us, we blast your ass back to the stone
age and go home."  Waiting until attacked first means we don't have to
do any of that nation building bullshit afterwards.  It's also cheaper
and puts fewer people, soldiers or otherwise, on both sides in harms
way.

Not unless you can find private industry that'll do it at the same
quality for the same out-of-pocket cost.  Good luck.
