That's an important question, and believe me when I say it's a consideration that is always being studied.

There's the Air Force tracking every orbital and suborbital object larger than a baseball over the entire continent. The Navy submarines patrol the coastlines listening to each and every boat off our shores. The Coast Guard and National Guard, though they may not be as well-manned as the other branches, are always on call should the need arise. And Army soldiers and Marines stationed here in the States could reach any part of our nation in less than half a day.

You may underestimate our defensive capabilities, but no other military force in the world does. An open attack on U.S. soil is the most suicidal thing anyone might attempt.

But the best defense is a good offence. That's the number one reason why most of our troops are serving around the world. The military always maintains a presence on and around former battlefields to make sure the fighting never starts back up. Our spies and our satellites keep tabs on enemies in every nation, tracking troop movements and weapons programs. If an invasion was comming we'd know about it months in advance. And besides that, an invading force would already be flanked by our deployed forces.

This isn't medeval times, RoBoBoy, we're not building a stone wall to keep the hoards out, hoping our forces can hold them back when the wall is breached. No, we're taking positions beyond our borders to make sure no conventional force ever gets close enough to attack us.
