Meg's right (again). Our national security is not in decline. Our ability to respond to certain things might be down. There might be problems with morale that should be addressed. But it's ridiculous to suggest that our national security, realistically speaking, is in jeopardy. Sure, someone could hit us with a missile, but that's pretty tough to protect against anyway.

(Meg also talked about 'V' (the sci-fi tv series), movies, and the tax 'refund'. Go read her.)
