1* When it comes to foreign policy, some leaders like to blame America first, some like to send Americans first to resolve international conflicts, and some believe our military should rarely intervene and protect America first. Are President Obama’s instincts to blame America first, send Americans first, or protect America first?

2* What about Congressional Republicans? Are the instincts of Congressional Republicans to blame America first, send Americans first, or protect America first?

3* What policy do you think is most appropriate for the United States—blame America first, send Americans first, or protect America first?

4* The U.S. Navy now claims it is a global force for good. Is the Navy’s mission primarily to be a global force for good or primarily to protect and defend the United States?

5* Do our political leaders send American soldiers into harms way too often, not often enough, or is the balance about right?
