OT – War #3?

So why are all of our “friends” pussies? The answer is by allowing them to rely so much on American military might, we made them so. This reality must change. Much like if any of us have a son rather on the soft side, our objective is to toughen him up so he can fend for himself in the future, and not fight his fight for him even when he is fully grown.[/quote]

OCR: I completely agree with you, and I think we should (being serious here) use this opportunity to announce to all of our erstwhile friends and allies that we are going to cut our defense budget by 50% and, from here on out, they can protect themselves against the various evil-doers of the world.

In absolute terms, we are spending way more on defense then we need to, including supporting bloated weapons systems programs that need to come off the books. Both Dem and GOP incumbents use the defense budget as a massive pork barrel to keep their constituents happy and its time to start cranking down the spigot.

Start with defense, and then go after corporate welfare, farm subsidies (which are all going to massive corporations), and every other friggin’ entitlement program out there.

Spread the pain, baby. We also need to do that same shit here in California. Cut spending and raise taxes.

I pretty much agree with ocrenter on this war.

The thing about military might is that it went to our heads. We are addicted to being the most powerful.

Our friends are taking advantage of our protection because we let them. But also because our leaders (political and military) are addicted to power.

We should remember that our friends are also our business competitors and bankers. They are getting richer and innovating in the business world while we are preoccupied with security and war.

Our soldiers who come from low social economic backgrounds are becoming the security service workers of the world. They go around the world providing security much like we import people to clean our houses and pick our produce.

good point, power can be intoxicating and addictive. to the point that we lose our focus and we become blind of the fact that a lot of folks are simply freeloading off us.
