Hey I support the military too. My son is in the AF, my father worked for DOD, and my uncle was a decorated war vet. I think (I hope) what the poster is saying, is that we are $17T in debt. We don't have the luxury to be policing the world any longer. I for one support a very strong military that protects our country, and the most vital of our interests.
The days of being Uncle Sugar for humanitaran, political, or for whatever else should be over. I can see your point too, but our inept government has put us in this position.
Well. I come from a military family too. My dad was in the AF and worked for the Army as a civilian. Both of my Grandfathers served under Patton. My mother worked for the AF and I have worked in the Defense Industry for 20 years. I don't take it well while we disarm and the Chinese and Russians continue to steal technology from us. These American socialist scum are mortgaging our future to give handouts to the parasites of society. There are now more takers than makers and the takers are all bused to the voting booth. It is times like these that I revere my confederate ancestors more than all of the rest, including those who served under William Clark Quantrill. Those were certainly some Rude assholes there! :)
