Poll question: If there's a government shutdown, should the US military be shutdown as well?
 Pretty straightforward poll.
Poll result (60 votes) 
Yes, shut it down. They are part of the govt like everyone else.  (42 votes, 70%)
No, we must continue to wage 3 wars. The Military Industrial Complex needs to be fed.   (12 votes, 20%)
Other  (6 votes, 10%)

12. This poll clearly demonstrates
 the hate for the military that is harbored in the hearts of so many people here.

Please don't even bother responding with all the "military industrial complex" BS.

Zombies crave brains because they think it will make them alive.

DUmmies crave death because they are egalitarians.

Apparently they aren't aware of why Soviet political officers carried pistols...
