I would like to see one other change, in our policies.
I firmly hold to the idea that war should not be our first resort; but when the US goes to war, keep the politicians out of it.
Let the Military do what they've been trained to do and remove that stupid wait until fired on edict.
<yeah I know that's not exactly what it says>
Once the Military has shown the enemy the errors of their ways, then let the politicians handle the "let's play nice" stuff.
And don't share every move with the Media, the public does not need to know everything
