@turtlemaroon do you know this one?

A is not really true, since the same people now support those ideas as those that supported them before. No real change there.
B is not an option that anyone really wants (other than Ron Paul and his fringe group followers), since the US has global obligations to meet that require more troops than that.

Now, I got a warning for blurting out the answers, so here's what I'm going to do. 

I have crossed out A and B for you and explained why they are not the answer. So now the answer choices that are left are C or D. Read them both carefully, think about what you learned about. Which one makes the most sense?
