I stand by my words, the military is getting sloppy due to Congress refusing them funds to build more planes for defence. or more research into some remarkable new war machines that boggle the mind, machines that do not kill, just uses sound/and or light to confuse and cause great panic among the enemy.----I have seen a couple of very interesting devices on the history channel that have no funding until they get government grants.
Wow. When I watch the History Channel, I'm amazed too. And then I change the channel.
I have had the opportunity of reading your drivel on far too many occasions. Your descriptions, examples, and overall points remind me of a nut looking for a squirrel.
When we finally get our National Guard home from overseas and they come from the border states, put them to work defending America on its own soil.
I know we cannot send the Guard into American City's to hunt down criminals, but there is a way around that.
Uh huh. Let's completely subvert the Posse Comitatus Act. Got it. I mean, hell, Lord Zero and his henchmen have lied and manipulated their way into subverting the Constitution, why not just make a mockery of yet another useless law?
This is my complaint, that the military complex is hog tied by politics.
Here's a news flash for you, vesta. The military has ALWAYS been hogtied by politics. It didn't happen yesterday. It didn't happen last week. It's always been there.
You can bitch and complain about the expensive gadgets and stealth weaponry that make the Pentagon drool, but the men and women who are wearing the uniform are going to use the tools that Congress - the very politicians you're bitching about - allow the military to have.
I'll go with you on one thing - there is an overall entity, system, and organization that is in place. This "thing", which Dwight Eisenhower warned us about, that he called the military-industrial complex, is so far entrenched into the Pentagon's way of doing business that even the Pentagon doesn't know who does what.
Blame the bureaucracy all you like -- I agree with you about that.
But the men and women who wear the uniform are doing what they're doing because they volunteered for it. They're serving their country and with few exceptions, they're doing it proudly, competently, and to great effect.
I"M enjoying this, friends or not, you are teaching me much.
Good.
