Rand Paul
#32
RE: Rand Paul
LOL, long ago in a galaxy far away, us fighters and bombers had USAAF decals on their wings and tails, because the air force was a small branch of the army. One of the gentleman in charge of this small branch thought that maybe his outfit deserved more of the public pie, and realized that he wouldn't be getting any more of the public pie so long as he was just a small branch of a larger force. So he continually petitioned his betters until a special designation was created for his interests, so that cash could be dumped into those interests. Thus the US Air Force.

They already do, law and enforcement are entirely seperate propositions- and this is leveraged in a big way to generate profit.

To each other via competition and to ourselves via consumption.

Quote: How would you prevent corruption?
By refusing them my business.

Quote:I'm not just being contentious, these are all things I'm honestly curious about.
As am I.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
