Is the US empire too expensive?
« on: August 19, 2011, 12:03:05 PM »


The reality of defense spending continues to upset many Americans and they feel that money should be used for issues at home. Debt looms over the country, but billions and billions continue to flow into defense spending. Can the US afford to dramatically cut on defense spending? Douglas Macgregor, a retired Colonel of the US army, tells us how this could be dangerous to America.

If they would fire all the old time Generals and start pulling out the 21st century gadgets, holograms ect. The American military could be even more powerful with just 100,000 soldiers. I've read somewhere that "they" the military are using less than 10% of the technology that they have at their fingertips.  Holograms, anti gravity, ray type guns, uniforms that can't be penetrated by any bullet etc.

But then the Military Industrial Complex would not make as much money...

This question does not even have to be asked. Only 2 year olds would think it is not.

Ron Poop is not going to save America.  Especially when he has an entire Congress that pays him no attention as a whole. He will be unable to get anything done whatsoever, or he will just veto everything resulting in a permanent gridlock as the country burns to the ground with Poop Paul fiddling from the Truman Balcony.

LOL, you gotta love these twits. They really are like 2 year olds. It boggles the mind that people actually take these little pricks serious.
