National Defense is mentioned in the Constitution.National defense is the priority job of the national government. Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution lists 17 separate powers that are granted to the Congress. Six of those powers deal exclusively with the national defense.National defense is the only mandatory function of the national government.

Constitutionally, defense is priority one and every thing else takes a back seat

You are insisting on making no cuts, which means that you are insisting that our country go bankrupt and fail.

I therefor find you: unpatriotic.
