Sure. So how does having a bunch of soldiers in the middle east stop that?

You mean like troops/ships? Not a fricking chance. A hostile armada would be destroyed before it saw Hawaii or crossed the midway point of the Atlantic.

That's why I'm advocating for a strong, proactive navy to be able to deal with them before they reach us (and retaliate instantaneously) and a strong (although much smaller than we have now) army back home just in case they make it past our highly capable navy.
