Oh yeah, how was that meeting? I am sure you were able to sit in on it.

Non-sense Many Americans thought so in the 60's but long since rejected violence as a solution. Americans have little patients for violence since ;just the nuts crying .

Would would you cut people with such experience? wont it cost more to train more people who would be only a 1/4 as experienced?

I wonder how many Jews during the 20's and early 30's told their concerned compatriots that they were paranoid and to quit looking for boogie men that aren't coming? Well, they did come eventually, didn't they? But nobody really had the last laugh because very few were left alive to joke about it.

There are always boogie men. Everywhere. Waiting for their chance.

When the Democrats round people up, ship them off to camps and then murder them wholesale, you've been proved right. Until then, you're proving nothing, just using the lamest weapon in the lame right wing arsenal of fallacies.

You don't even understand what constitutes "proof."

Weak, weak, weak.

Of course, businesses do it all the time as a cost cutting move. Those older workers are more expensive to keep around. People with good experience leave the military for the private sector so it[s not uncommon.

But this is what happens when you cut the military and it's about time.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think each income group's share of the federal income tax revenue is compared to their share of the income?

Would it surprise you to learn that based on their share of the income, the middle class is paying only about half as much in federal income tax revenue as they should be paying?

What about their share of the wealth? A much more relevant number....
