Cut Wasteful Military Spending!

[King]

Recruiters are hilarious.  I went along with one in my earlier days just to hear all the bull they'd try to pass as fact.

And drastically reducing military spending should be a universal belief.  Even if you're Derek, you should be pissed about defense contractors chronically going over budget and making promises they can't deliver on weapons they can't build.  They're hurting our economy.

Oh and people sign up to defend our country not to go wherever to fight whoever.  That's a big problem with the Department of Defense these days.  It's the Department of Offense.

Dramatically reduced.

When people talk about waste in government, the DoD should be a prime example.

Happy Memorial Day to you too.

Yes, today we remember all the innocent lives ruined and destroyed thanks to the U.S. government and its long history of senseless warmongering.

You're politicizing their deaths.

And you're trying to use their deaths as a rationale for a bloated military budget.

How about we double to education budget to commemorate the Columbine shooting?  Or bring in socialized health care to honor those who died of cancer this year?

Those are all good ideas but how do we achieve them?

Not through $10 trillion in military spending.

Building fighter jets that the Pentagon doesn't want because a Congressman in a Lockheed plant district wants to create jobs for his voters can do a lot of amazing things, but inspiring peace and friendship is not one of them.

No, guys, we can't help other countries unless we're holding a gun while doing it.
