How many people died in Vietnam? 58000 How many in WW II? 1,000,000 The only reason casualties were low in the Gulf War and continue to be low in Afghanistan is because the former was a tin pan dictator with big appetites and little to back it up. You're nuts. Iraq was one of the several larger militaries in the world when we defeated them with a total of about 300 casualties. Reagan's expenditures did squat You fool. Most of the precision guided munitions we use today took root in the Reagan administration. And lets not forget the defensive Patriot Missle systems. Reagan. Amazingly, you seem to know less about THIS subject than you do the others you spout off about (I didn't think that was possible).

I have said repeatedly that I am liberal on social issues and a conservative when it comes to financial expenditures.........just like Clinton. I would not discribe a president that brought tax levels to their highest point in US history to be a "conservative when it comes to financial expenditures" cato.org Reagan's expenditures did squat.......we have the mothballed armaments to prove it Reagan's expenditures built a lot of what we have to fight with today, esp if you consider the research and development cost not just the actual weapons systems. But even with just the weapons systems a lot of the tanks and ships and aircraft that we have today where built during the Reagan administration. Tim
