  • I think the most importance should be put on military members, their safety and their families. Service members should not be ill-equipped. They should not qualify for welfare, essentially.

    Most enlisted persons signed up not thinking about what they were getting into, many were outright lied to. They should not be put in such a position. The government takes complete advantage of people in this regard. They know that most enlisted persons are there as a last resort, so they can be treated poorly once they sign on the dotted line. Even many commissioned officers signed up as a last resort. But due to the committment they made, they shouldn't be treated like shit once they sign up.

    No one should ever be sent into a battle without the proper equipment. That should be criminal!!

    Beyond that, speaking of developing a larger presence through weapon development and starting shit, I think it should relax. I believe there are more effective, smarter and more humane ways of getting things done. I compare it to life-I don't have to go around beating the shit out of everyone who threatens or opposes me, or those who I feel are doing injustice to another. There's always other means of resolving a situation before resorting in violence (and I'm a rather agressive person, mind you!!).

    • Do you mean that we should keep our military scaled back and relaxed so we don't make anyone jittery?

      • Alright I get your post is about military money but why was it necessary to bring in our political party? We need the military. If we do not pay for military we do not have one.
