Funny thing about those air craft carriers, explain nhow they are defense weapons?Who do we need to invade to protect our liberty?How many billions of dollars have we spent on defense, in other countrys.And then after wrecking them, we tax payers help rebuild them, at great expense, and nothing tangible in return. That old phrase" build it and they will come" holds true for our military spending. DD Eisenhauer warned us to beware of the military spending lobby.This country will never be lost to an invadinjg army, it will be lost because we spent our way into oblivion.Before we start the name calling, my step dad was career army, I lived on an army base for a little while, I'm a veteran,also have a step grandson who is active military, served two tours in afganistan, and one in Iraq.But the time has come and passed for us to police the world. Yes a lot of folks live on our coast lines, by necesity, when disater strikes, yes we help.but when someone builds a great big second house on a barrier island or in hurricane areas by choice, screw em. When you make a dumb choice, you made it.Thisa country needs to look inside our borders, before we "fix" other peoples problems.We spend millions of dollars trying to teach kids that cant or wont learn, and fund stupid programs.
