So in short, this is what I'm asking: How does fighting a war on another continent translate into fighting for my country's freedom?

In direct response to this question, I think it's evident that I believe that fighting a war on another continent runs counter to the goal of maintaining my personal freedoms. I believe there were and still are alteratives that could be explored that would better safeguard my freedom.
In a more hypothetical situation, I think full-blown millitary action is very rarely called for, in situations where there is a direct massed millitary threat to one's own country or perhaps to one's ally's. Even in that situation, it may still be preferrable and more effective to utilise minimal, and discrete, targeted force(especially with the technologies available today)
