It went light again , I think . I still see the posts . <| sep |> Sure , if you want an American annexation . After military integration , our military would only answer to the US president . It would amount to a de facto American annexation . Then the original question you posted would become a moot point , and if this is the solution proposed , we should just disband our military , and figure out a new way to contribute to NATO and let the treaty alliances be our only military defense . Economy and fiscal prudence is the issue of the days . You might be able to push the terrorist issue and increase the military spending that way , but . that ' s a slippery slope that would only guarantee a terrorist win since their objective is fearmongering , and to push that agenda through would be fearmongering from politicians .
