Pentagon Plans to Shrink Army to Pre-World War II Level

[C0RYH0FFMAN]

11. I understand what you're getting at...

and actually I do not think that you and I would disagree when it comes down to it. My former Petty Officer used to say that the Military was for Killing People and Breaking Things. There is nothing more antithetical to growth, prosperity, happiness and productivity than killing human beings and destroying things.

However, I am saying, at a meta-level, crediting the bank account of a United States Soldier, at the end of day, is still crediting a private bank account. It is still money that will ultimately percolate throughout our private economy. What our economy needs is more endowments of monetary resources from the Federal Government's Public Purse.

The Military "cutting" because we're living in an age of austerity is cutting for the wrong reasons. We should be cutting the military because we could use those dollars elsewhere and for more productive activities in an age of prosperity!
