Another thing that might merit your attention before you start shooting is Russia, China, and Iran will be able to shoot back a hell of a lot more than Iraq or Afganistan did.

I respectfully suggest you study up on the notion of peach through strength. Historically, weakness invites war whereas strength tends to prevents it.
I know it sounds counterintuitive but it's just the way the world has worked since antiquity. Reagan understood it, and that's why we won the Cold War ... in spite of all the fear mongers, nuclear freezniks and other lefties who protested his policies. I think Rubio understands this notion, and that's how I took his comment.
