We need national defense. We don't need gun crazies ruling us.

What were we defending in the wars of the latter 20th and beginning of
the 21st century?

Our freedom.


Who was threatening us? The Koreans? The Vietnamese? Granada? The
Bosnians? The Iraqis? The Afghans? Are the Iranians threatening us
now?


The Japanese, the Germans, the Koreans. The rest we aided others for
democracy. Do you think we can just get rid of all of our national
defense?


The Japanese, Germans and Koreans were not threatening us in the latter
20th and beginning of the 21st Century. We can and should cut our
military defense budget at least by half over the next decade as
employment picks up.

If you really knew the right thing to do, you'd pay your taxes. You
didn't so you don't.

If we really just wanted security for the US we would have supported
the Palestinians in 1948.


Gotta have someplace to test all of the technology we bought.

We don't need a defense budget that is more than the whole rest of the
world combined. (40% of that is borrowed money)


OH, I agree!

Erskine Bowles made an interesting comment. We have a treaty with
Taiwan that says we would go to war with China if Taiwan was attacked
but we would have to borrow the money from the Chinese to do it.


That is interesting to say the least!
