It's horrific. I'm glad to see we've dispatched some military units and
gear to the Philippines to help out. That's the most appreciated
activity in which our military engages...disaster relief provided by
American troops because the people of the United States care.

Liberal cry, let cut the military when they help America, but when
there is crisis elsewhere. Send in our wonderful military.

Do you know how much we spend each year on the military?
Do you know how much other nations spend on their military?

We spend far too much on the military. The military budget can be cut.
Doing so will not prevent us from sending our military in to render
humanitarian aid where it is needed around the world.

Does the world need a policeman? Shoud the USA be doing the job? Should China? Should the United
Nations.

Maybe we should let the French take over.
