"Our troops who were getting shot at frequently would think the difference is a little more than semantic. "

Right, but in the context of this discussion, I don't think it is.

We either are paying for a large share of SK's defense, or we aren't. You think, apparently, that so long as the troops aren't within pissing distance of the actual boarder, we aren't spending any money there. My common sense demands that I think otherwise.

You're right, I don't care nearly as much about the money spent, as I do about our troops.
