timm,
Honestly, I didn't "beg the question", I asked one.
The attacks in London and Scotland were thwarted by luck, and investigated by security agencies (police intelligence), not military.
So, as regards the USA, and given the fact that one fourth of the leadership positions at Homeland Security remain unfilled, ummm.., ugh,
Sorry, Timm. Good intelligence provides more security than all the brave military service, (and I commend their efforts).
Remember, wars are fought with countries. "Terrorists" know no boundaries.
This isn't the mission of the military, but rather, the covert (intelligence) departments.
