Think4yurself, the reason you are able to spew your left viewed thinking is because of the past wars. Most of our freedoms that we have today is because we fought for others and for what was right. You are lucky that you aren't speaking Germnan, or worse yet locked up because of lack of freedom of speech. You talk about history, I think it is you that probably didn't study it.
Right now, the reason you are safe in your little environment is because we are keeping the crazies in other countries. As soon as we vacate the areas we are fighting in there will be no need for the foriegn fighters to fight us out of country. Rest assured we will have the things that happen to us here soon that happens in other parts of the world.
On the part of freeing up dollars, the way to do that is to quit throwing our money away on broken social programs. Let's get rid of welfare, make people work for their money!
So enjoy your little life here in a FREE COUNTRY where you can say stupid things and not get hauled off to prison for being ignorant. When you begin to do real research and stop believing the media, then maybe, then you will understand why you are able to walk so recklessly around with yur head below the sand.

If it isn't obvious to you yet that the United States makes it's economic machine run on warfare yet, then you're either ignorant, or you haven't been taught history or haven't bothered to learn history, or you're just playing dumb.
The Defense Sector (or what I call Offense Sector) and BIG OIL interests pay our Senators and Representatives millions upon millions of dollars every year in order to ensure the government uses the majority of it's tax dollars to fund new techy military equipment, expensive attack jets, submarines, ships, and tanks that cost us trillions of dollars. And they ensure that we take control of these lands, such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and next Pakistan and Iran, in order to provide this truly expensive and much saught after resource for our salivating oil companies. Hence, enormous Exxon/Mobile Profits at a time when the economy is struggling and money for JPL and Lockheed and Northrup Grumman to produce more un-needed military equipment/products.
War is business. Vietnam proved that. The Persian Gulf War proved that. WWII proved that. And WWI proved that. If you really take away all these wars from the US, do you think we would be the same economic powerhouse that we are now? If we took away the need to bomb foreign nations in useless wars do you think we would have a need for Lockheed, JPL, and Northrup Grumman? If we took away these wars do you think we would more tax dollars freed up to spend in areas of social reform such as Healthcare, Social Security, and Education?
I think the answers are clear... Unless you wanta just plain ignore the facts...
