China has about 100 ICBS. North Korea may have a few. The United States has committed ourselves to protecting Taiwan and South Korea. Is it so hard to imagine that either of these committments might gets us involved in a War? And in such a war the enemy might try and hurt us?
I pay a lot of money in Federal Taxes and I don't see much of a return. I don't benefit from Medicaid or Social Secuirty or any of the other transfer payments. I can't really think of a more important thing the Federal government could do for me (save stopping terrorists coming into this country) than protecting me from an incoming missile.
