Hi Jewell. I like having a strong military for a lot of reasons. Using force to attempt to find, kill, subdue and intimidate those who would use terrorism as a tool against us is not, however, one of them.

For the reasons why I might believe that, read your post to which I am responding and ask what the use of their overwhelmingly strong military is accomplishing to protect the Russian people from terrorist attacks?

Now, who said anything about disbanding the military? It's just using it in a way which will assuredly inflame, create and encourage outbreaks of extremism and terrorism, that I regret. And I especially regret it when the purported reason for doing so is to "fight the war on terrorism." That's just too silly, and why we would swallow it is a mystery to me. Ed
