"What the hell?
If we were to ever even fight these guys, it would be WW3
" I was talking about Iran and Russia"
Lol, as if scare tactics would work on russia? And we need excess funding to scare iraq? Are you kidding me? Lol this is why kids cannot vote.
But I can. :)"
You call me a kid I said Iran not Iraq (First off) Russia's military is only 1.5/3's the size of our military and they still use weapons from the 70's.
Plus, why even bother mentioning WW3, That's the exact oppisite of what scare tactics are supposed to do, they DETER, you dumbass. |

Nukes are LAST RESORT WEAPON, I would rather fight a war on the ground than destroy population centers and cities across the world and expose entire countrysides to radiation
Then you call me a wingnut and idiot
You sir, are stupid |

| That is if a country decides to fight us instead of backing off, because having nothing but nukes and weapons that we used 10 years ago (seeing as this could be in the forseeable future) wouldn't work well, if any of our enemies modernize their military (like China) |

Have you ever heard of the term nuclear deterrent?
Thats why these countries dont war each other. Its not because of the damn military, its because of the nukes. Nukes are a last resort weapon, yes, but they are used as a show of force to PREVENT WAR HENCE DETERRENT.
You are the moron here. im done arguing with someone who hasnt even passed the 6th grade. |

the autism on this thread is ridiculous
stop crying about soldiers who go poor after the military, first off it's AFTER the military. if you don't acquire a specific rank you don't get paid after decommission. that's like saying i quit mcdonalds as a fryer but i want them to keep paying and taking care of me, it's stupid. also, we spend more on our military then the next 10 countries combined, 7 of which are allies lmao. so the fact that you don't want to spend less on military while our entire infrastructure is as old as your mom is ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself. why have a military to protect something broken down?
also to the person who said we use tanks from ww2. LOL. that is all i will say about that.
to the person who said nuclear weapons are deterrents, they themselves aren't for defensive purposes, but they serve as a deterrent more than the chance we'd actually use them, so yes props to you.

Yes, we have the largest military on Earth.
In fact, we OVERSPEND on it.
We spend more money on defense than the next 25 countries combined, yet we still run out of money for essential parts of society, like healthcare, and fighting poverty.
It's ridiculous and you know it. |

I'm trying not to get banned after getting three warnings in a row.
We're not running out of money for essential parts of society, fighting poverty is definitely a problem however healthcare is a different story because more left wing politicians don't really know how to handle it, because Obamacare sponges up more tax dollars than I imagined it would. To be honest, though I don't agree with social healthcare if it's done I want it done right
When I created this thread speaking about what happened after they were discharged from the military, they don't receive a preportionate amount of pay in the military for the work they're doing, minus the bills paid while overseas, they don't have enough money afterwards to really afford being betrayed by the VA like most veterans are. |

Plus, I never said we had to use them but, I would like to keep the amount of nuclear weapons to a preportional amount considering the amount of destruction they can do.
Besides nuclear weapon manufacturing also costs a lot of money despite the fact that, I will admit, it is a more permanent deterrent. |

A good majority of that debt was actually caused by domestic spening by President Obama, not trade or defense.
and Who reports people these days, you should honestly not be on the c&g |

the percentage he wants to cut on military spending really isn't that much there are more important things to worry about internally for the time being
and until those things internally are further repaired then I think cutting spending on our military isn't such a bad idea I'm sure he'll put the previous budget back into the military once internal issues are stabilized to a fair degree. don't need a military force with the purpose of protecting freedoms when the freedoms are slowly being drained away from the inside out. what our nation was founded on has crumbled.

I'll quote you on that because a giant laser with the technology we have is pretty impractical. |

not to mention under the obama administration: dow jones when he took office was at 7,949 and now stands at 17,830 unemployment when he took office was at 7.8% and is now at 5.8% gdp growth when he took office was at -5.4% and is now at 3.5% deficit gdp% was at 9.8% and is now at 2.8% consumer confidence was at 37.7 and now stands at 94.5
do tell me what you don't like about obama and his administration's part and I hope you understand the role of the other branches of government |

Well, he did say something about increasing the tax rate which in turn will increase debt, and possibly deficit if he ends up doing something really stupid, so even if he cuts it by a little bit to fund that bill, it's going to end badly either way. (Now just keep in mind this is what i'm gathering from the situation correct me if i'm wrong.)
Now to fix things internally, we may have to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a better plan. (What that would be I don't know)
and the only reason that there's not much more freedom to stand on is left-wing federalism in itself.
