Why is the govt. still stuck in the 90's inertia of military downsizing? Under a strong republican majority, should we be continuing the self-destruction begun by Clinon et al? IMO, a strong military is Job 1, top priority, don't worry about the spotted owl until its done, Big Deal. Quit carping about "can't afford it" and get it done. First. Then go on wasting the remaining tax revenues on superfluous crap like always.

The Reagan build-up of our military was actually reversed by Papa Bush under the delusion that global marxism was dead. Yeah, Klintoon was certainly an abomination, but neocons aren't true conservatives either.
