This is one point I can't understand .... you (the USA) is able to invade a

right now), bring thousands of soldiers from one side of the planet to the
other one ... but: aren't you able to bring several thousand of soldiers, a
carrier, etc. down to New Orleans? Let your troops do something useful.

the problem you see, is that when you spend the money/time/resources
to do one thing (like, invading a country), you have to take it out
of some place else...
