The Pentagon itself is saying it has to cut back. Sorry.
Cutting back is one thing, even I know that there needs to be a limit; however, wanting to essentially shut down the military is foolhardiness. Mista Jimmah showed us how to do that.
"The era of payingfor big government is over." The budget absolutely exploded under his watch. You know there's a theory that conservatives rack up such huge debt to prevent liberals from being able to spend money when they attain power. I think there's something to that.
Conservatives like to talk about the ineptness and wastefulness of the Federal government. And when they get into power, they prove their own point.
Yes, those wicked liberals, having to pay to shore up the boring old infrastructure, bring the public schools out of the third world (though that's a project that needs some serious b*-slapping first of all), help poor people get themselves out of poverty, help more students go to college, try to help us get affordable health care...they're the worst I tell you.

Obama aint going to shut down the milaterry. He *IS* going to shut down the insane waste and fraud that went on in Iraq; there's a new Commission working out how exactly to avoid this in the new quagmire Afghanistan

I have no problem with that basic idea. Quagmire? Eh?
I dont think ive ever held a job that didnt owe some of its business to military support. Defense spending creates one hell of alot of economic activity which stimulates the economy. What we need is more wars so we can turn over some equipment and create demand for our products. Obama knows this and will continue our warmongering ways in Afghanistan

another idea being floated around is allowing civilian DoD employees who want to to come to (the safe parts of) war areas to supplement the non-military work the troops and military officials have been doing that slowed them down - I guess paperwork, things like running gas stations - ? thus freeing up the military to do its thing.
