Hawk,

Re: So sorry to burst your bubble on military spending Raymond..

Well, of course you didn't burst my bubble or turn me into a fascist with a glib statistical romp in the Wonderland like that.

It is high time that militarists like you get a grip on the reality that you are attempting to create. It is a truly ugly world that you are attempting to create. A world that depends on death, destruction and conflict for profit. A world that increasingly destroys the Constitutional freedoms that Americans have too easily taken for granted for the past two hundred years.

The future you hope to create with F-22s, JSFs and ATFs is indeed an ugly and depressing one. Especially since it is in no way a necessity that the U.S. become the biggest prison-military-industrial complex this planet has ever suffered.

Have you ever considered the alternatives? Have you considered that the destruction of thousands of innocents in the Fertile Crescent for the sake of Halliburton's profits may be a reprehensible and immoral use of the American taxpayers dollar and the good will of the American soldier/patriot who has been betrayed in the most basic sense with his patriotism cynically manipulated by a pack of scoundrels now in charge of the Department of Death and the White House?

Have you no moral sense whatsoever?

How dare you talk about how small a percentage of the GDP is used to perpetrate genocide for the sake of outlandish war profiteers? Have you no sense at all? Have you no decency?
