>> The military is the least productive government work there is. This, of course, is an absurd remark. Our military has, for decades, protected the nations of the world from aggression. We are not the aggressors. Do you lack any knowledge of history at all? Our military, while inefficient in many ways, when taken as a whole is highly productive. Consider, for example, that we have run wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan since 01/03 on far less money than Barack Obama wasted on the so-called "stimulus" bill. In the process freeing 10s of millions of people, and giving that many more an opportunity to be free (which they have yet to seize).
