If we get into a war with the Russians or the PRC, and neither side unleashes nukes, I'm not sure we'd win against them, either. And if nukes are unleashed, no one wins. Which leads to the question of why do we waste so much $$$ on a military that likely will not be used in any large-scale war. If we had used half or more of the money wasted on the military the last 40 years on infrastructure instead, we'd have a first-class country with a good electrical grid, railroads, roads, dams, sewage, energy usage, and environment. |

ISIS and Al-Qaeda were products of wars in the middle east although Al Qaeda really came up in response to the Soviets invading Afghanistan. They really don't see any difference. If the Saudis were so concerned about Saddam taking their neighbor, they should have led the fight to kick him out with the US only providing limited logistic support, basically just selling them the arms. Was it really that important to us which dictators we bought oil from? It turns out the Saudis are not as harmless as we thought either. |

People will pay any amount for a perceived defense. If Trump really wanted his wall, he should have had the Pentagon build it. $5Billion would disappear in the couch cushions of the DoD budget. |

The reasons are obviously beyond your comprehension so therefore are not worth trying to explain them to you again and again and again. |

He floated that idea but was convinced that the Democrats would make it political suicide. Funny thing is ... I don't think he cares about political suicide and may still find a way to pull that off. I think he's trying to get as much $$ as he can from Congress and will then supplement additional programs costs from the DOD. It's getting almost sickening to watch the "debates". It is obvious to the most oblivious observer that the Dem's only reason for not voting to fund any part of a wall/fence/slat/barrier is because they want to deny Trump the ability to claim another campaign pledge met. |

Bush daddy and his 3 sons (including the "4th brother" and the tan one) |
