As of now, the default definition is that America must maintain an empire via force.
To me, a "strong national defense" would be protecting AMERICA and securing our borders instead of worrying about Iraq and having troops scattered all over the world. We could have a very strong national defense for far less than they spend on it now but we can't provide defense for Japan, Europe, Iraq and whoever else would like for us to relieve them of that burden. But as long as the politicians keep pissing away American's money for the defense of other countries and not securing our own borders we will not have a "strong national defense."
We--or the folks who allegedly "represent" us*--need to be telling the folks who allegedly represent the people of their respective countries, "Gentlemen, the free ride you have been enjoying at the expense of Americans is now over. You can pay for your own defense to the degree you think necessary but you won't be getting any help from America. The people in America are fed up with having their money, their work, stolen from them so that other people can spend their money on social programs. If you don't like it, tough $#it."
