There are many Freepers in uniform who work with these “bloodsuckers” and their contractor partners on a daily basis. Most DoD employees are hard working and genuinely care about the end product. Most are conservative. After all, a large percentage of them are veterans. Where in the heck do you all think the neat weapons and toys the military folks use comes from? You should go look at how many jobs something like the F-22 or F-35 provides. Massive cuts to the DoD is going to roll downhill and you will see a lot of highly trained subject matter experts on the unemployment dole like in the early 90s.

You clearly cannot separate the macro from the micro, as I was speaking totally in the macro about goverment employess, and not targeting the DoD related functions specifically - and I was certainly talking about government workers and not contractors. You are letting a tiny tail wag the entire dog. I am talking about the entire dog.

I am also talking about the fact that government must shrink, even if that means some of the good parts of government too. I know full well where the neat weapons and toys come from, but you don’t have a clue WHERE THE MONEY FOR IT COMES FROM.
