According to the mythology we are a peace loving people living in a peace loving nation.

1. Well thank god we still have money for arms!

I mean it's hard times, people going hungry, without medical care and freezing-but at least we can still support our defense contractors. It would be tragic if our priorities were to get screwed up.

3. as Einstein said

"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."

Which means, since we start wars every year under the neo-barbarism laws a.k.a. the so-called 'Bush Doctrine', that indeed we are NOT a peaceful people, but one of the most war like in the history of our species. :cry:

4. How much is too much??

5. last year PNAC whined that the defense budget was "inadequate"

These people will just never be satisfied.
