Well, I suppose we have our own ways of wasting billions of tax dollars
on our military.

Harry, do you take *yourself* seriously?

For the money we've *wasted* on the military in Iraq, we could have
rebuilt New Orleans, fixed the levees for real, made many needed
infrastructure improvements all over the United States, provided more
funding for S-CHIP, and sent thousands of needy students to college.

The worst thing this country has done since 1945 is waste so much of its
precious resources on the military. We could have done just as well with
much less. Might have kept us out of Vietnam, might have kept us out of
Iraq.

Spending unnecessary money on the military is worse than pouring it down
the drain.

My personal opinion is that a special 'war tax' should be applied when a
president wants to go to war.
It would be a pay as you go situation...not downloading the costs on future
generations by adding to the national debt.
