Quote by: Osborn F Enready Really? Strange then that they teach the basics of offense and defensive force allocations, tactics and strategies then isn't it?

Individual forces can be configured for offensive or defensive operations, but an entire armed forces of a nation cannot. You can lean towards offensive or defensive roles by prioritising certain types of equipment, but there is no way to build a completely defensive army that cannot be used on the offensive.

We are Constitutionally a nation which seeks military isolationism, no entangling alliances with other nations, and no goal of oppressing or changing nations or peoples around the world.

I'm not sure who "We" is (are we talking the Tanzania or something?). However few powerful nations can remain isolationist for long. Putting your head in the sand doesn't make the rest of the world ignore you.

Do you think any nation can become a superpower without offensive actions? Heck, even humans can't become successful without leaving the house.

What makes the fed or state "title" more apt to pick responsible, law abiding people than private, local or city sources? Why is a corporate cop, or a civillian cop somehow less professional than state or fed cops?

Because state-regulated justice is more standardised. There are rules and regulations, accompanied by training. Civilian cops do not have that level of training and discipline, not to mention regulation (if they did, they wouldn't be civilians cops anymore, as any police force regulated by an overarching centralised department is effectively state police).

Neighbourhood Watch might be useful for writing down license plates and reporting litterbugs, but don't expect Joe the Accountant to catch a dozen armored terrorists with AKs.

Why can't local authorities be as apt to be effective as more nationalized forces, in your opinion?

They are, but only when regulated by national authorities.
