Tonite I learned that we have troops not only in S. Korea but in Japan as well. 25k in S.Korea; 35k in Japan. Its no wonder SS is only a pittance. We can't afford squat thanks to our global military."

You must really still be in junior high school if you just learned we have troops in Japan and Korea.

I knew we had them in Korea, not Japan.

Blaming our global military for our economic woes is just plain foolish.

Why is it that we can't afford squat and we are one of the richest nations in the world? You tell me what impact a defense budget that is equal to the rest of the world's military spending is going to have on deficits.

If it wasnt for our global military, there would be 25,000 North Korean troops stationed in your backyard.

Its people like you that help get us into this mess. You believe every paranoid talking point put out by the RNC. No wonder you voted for Bush.
