What is the main idea of this reading?

The author is talking about how the us had to waste countless lives in wars against the communist and it seems he/she is trying to convince the reader about how absurd this situation is and how we should stop sending our soldiers to fight these dumb wars that have started for reasons unexplained.

(sorry if this doesn't help i tried to point out a main idea)

under god i have placed my chiest strentgh and the safe guard to my loyal subjects

a social contract.

"a social contract is an agreement between citizens and their leader where the citizens give up certain freedoms in exchange for protection. the constitution of the united states is an example of a social contract."
