Don't you feel kinda strange, calling yourself a "conservative" and
posting things like this?


I'm a social conservative, and fiscal moderate.


I don't mind spending money, as long as I see see the fruits of the
expenditures. Money paid towards a strong military

The strong military you're buying now will be staffed by none other
than
your children. No matter WHAT the cause, you won't want them there to
fight it.


I'd like to see our military spending increased to the point where we

can

create completely automated weaponry that can be controlled by

"soldiers"

well out of harm's way. We already have pilotless drones carrying

warheads,

unmanned ground vehicles, and Tomahawk missiles capable of firing from
hundreds of miles away with near-pin-point accuracy. We're in the
early
development phase of battlefield robots that will be able to do the
street-to-street fighting being done in Iraq.

Battlefield robots doing street-to-street fighting? Heheheh. Too much
RoboCop in your TV diet.


Actually, a weapons platform advancing in front of a platoon that has on
it
advanced radar and targeting that "sees" incoming rounds and directs
suppression fire without intervention all within milliseconds would be a
good tool. They have a few systems that track mortar and larger shells
and
direct fire in the field now.




Spin-offs from our highly successful "Star Wars" missile defense system,
no doubt.

They were in use in Viet Nam. I guess you saw them in action.
