Which party was responsible for the drive to downgrade and decimate the total military force of the United States The US Military is like 30 larger than the next military in line. It's also extremely questionable what worth the US Military has when it can’t fulfill US wishes in a backward country like Iraq. Democrats want crazy things like adult literacy programs but we can all see how much more the cash spent on the Military gives the US society. Better to have a populace that can't read than not have enough J-dam bombs. Does it ever occur to all these military loving posters that one of the reasons the US keeps getting into these foreign misadventures is because the military is so big. Its like you gotta do something with it - so might as well start a war somewhere and kill a few hundred thousand people.
