Lots of tough guys on line hoping for a good war they can watch on TV. Too few of you are on a flight to fight your glorious war. The kind of people I call cowards.

The typical American taxpayer neither fights his own fires nor pursues armed criminals. That's why he pays taxes - so firefighters and policemen do it for him. The same analogy applies to military operations. If the American taxpayer wanted to fight all of the nation's wars on his own, the defense department should be disbanded and replaced with a levy that is imposed in military emergencies. Apart from average $5000 per capita tax imposed on the average taxpayer for having a defense department, in any confrontation with Russia, which has thousands of nuclear warheads mounted on missiles, the average American is risking his neck, as well as the necks of his entire family. To say that he is a coward for wanting Russia kept in check is more than an insult - it is factually wrong.

I must have missed the part in the constitution about paying taxes to fight wars for other countries.

Anyone recommending military provocation toward Russia who is not willing to be at point on the first platoon forward, is a coward.

And no, George Soros cannot let his tax money or his other money stand in for him.
