The Iraqis ten dollar IEDs have proven more effective than our trillion dollar military |

That is what no one wants to admit. Thats the 800 pound gorilla in the room.
Imagine that for a minute. Bombs made in some garage in Iraq defeated the most technically advanced military in the world.
I don't think we are getting our monies worth out of these defense contractors. They built us an army that is completely useless against the most basic weapons in the world.
We have been screwed and tattooed.

We've got 2 billion dollar stealth bombers that don't work in the rain, tens of millions of dollars in Patriot missle systems that couldn't shoot down a blimp, hundreds of billions of dollars in nukes that can never be used, billions of dollars in SDI that can never be used and wouldn't work anyway, and it just goes on and on and on.
It's all a big scam.

3. I guess if we were fighting the whole world would our present weapons be good |
|
hopefully he's stopped before he fulfills that wet dream. Just think what would be going on now if, if they had secured the ammo dump going in. that in itself was criminal

7. yet "some" have called for the military to be made larger. |
|
larger how?
and why? its already the MOST EXPENSIVE on the planet.
our military needs to be HALVED, and it needs to not invade sovereign nations. its the dept. of DEFENSE, not offense.
