> My view on this , myself having kids as everyone knows . I like the idea that our military is overbuilt of sorts . In my eyes I would rather have it and not need it , instead of need it and not have it . Will it keep all of us safe ??? No but it will keep most of us safe . We bitch about our military spending what about spending money on illegals immigrants education while cutting our military’s education ???

We aren’t arguing to get rid of military and “not have it”.

It’s spending what where don’t need to spend, like the recent lobbying/bribing act of a new tank purchase order that even the military said “we don’t need more tanks”, spending more on AC’ing the troops in the desert than the budget of NASA (20 BILLION)

Etc… It’s have a smarter military not a wasteful one, and there is plenty of fat to be trimmed. Especially starting with not being involved in “conflicts” overseas all the time.

I believe education is a state budget issue btw, but I’m not getting into that debate.
