You mean you think we take on a piss ant broken country like Iraq with the biggest and mightiest military the world has ever seen and we haven't accomplished anything?

Exactly!! Boy do you make the case for my point.


I don't think so. Your point is that more money is not needed. My point is our armed forces need to be more effective.

Like Clinton and the rest of the current crop of demos you argue daily that we can do more with less military. And like them you fail to put forth one solid new solution...not even an idea.

We are the only country in the world today with substantial expeditionary land warfare forces deployed 8,000 miles from home with significant naval and air force assets deployed in force protection and mission support roles.

What do you use for your comparisons and apparent esoteric arguments that the cost is too high. So far when challenged you use words like stupid to counter. That is childish.

Give us some meat. How much should we spend on defense? How should we spend it? How big or small should our army be? Where should it be deployed?

C'mon counselor. So far you have been whining and complaining. How about taking some risk and offering a solution.
