What do you propose manufacturers do? Make a large capital investment in a new ammo plant to make bullets for a war that already seems to be ramping down?

We propose an administration that puts the nation on a war basis when it goes to war!

The "ramping down of wars" will only happen when the last neocon has a stake through his heart or we have an administration that scourges this vermin from its ranks!

Are you a "real" person or are you responding from the basement of the White House?

This isn't 1941. We don't need fleets of thousands of aircraft, ships and tanks. We don't need a giant draftee army. Should we be spending more on defense? Absolutely. But saying we should put the nation on a war basis is a meaningless term, in this day and age.

What paranoia. I'm sitting about three blocks from the White House, if you need to know.
