The Military is not discretionary, especially these times.

we spend 50% of the world's defense budget. do we REALLY need that to
protect the US? As defense sec gates pointed out, we have 11 carriers;
no other country has more than one

China is building a huge Military and starting to muscle it's way around
including threatning the US and Korea if the have Military exercises in
the Yellow Sea.

yep and right now they spend about 80B on defense. we spend 7 times
that amount. we can form strategic alliances with other nations. any
money we spend above our needs is just another form of foreign aid

They have grabbed Vietnamese Atolls and Islands and
other neighboring territories.

fine. let the vietnamese fight them as they already have. otherwise,
we can form an alliance with the vietnamese navy (like we are doing
now) AND with the indian navy (our navy exercises more with the indian
navy than we do with any other navy in the world).

we can not afford to patrol the world. if other countries feel
threatened by the chinese, let them spend their money. we can afford
to defend ourselves agains the chinese but we can't afford to protect
the world against every threat everyone faces

They intend to take Taiwan thanks to Wall
Street they may succeed. Russi grabbed more Japaneese Islands. They have
developed Carrier Force killer missles.

and we are developing counter weapons. but it may be time to ask if
the carrier has outlived its usefulness.

They have destroyed American
Satellites.

and we've destroyed theirs. russia's defense budget is less than the
chinese and they have similar technology. we dont need to defend the
world against all the threats.



we simply can't afford it. thanks to wall street...let me repeat
that...

THANKS TO WALL STREET

we now have to compromise our ability to defend our perceived
interests

this is part of the legacy the american people have to understand
we've been given by wall street.
