8. Before we can bring them home we need to change national priorities.
The priority of the U.S. government is to maintain world dominance. The military and its industrial complex is just a means to that end. As long as our national priority is to maintain world dominance, there will be no meaningful change in the wars. The happiness and well being of citizens play a very second fiddle to our national priority, thus we see a hard push to end entitlement programs and destroy the social safety net. The empire has reached the point that we can no longer maintain the social safety net and our national priority.
