they'll make the problem go away.
And those poor bastards on food stamps can starve while cheering on "the troops."

I've got a novel idea - how about we stop waging warfare?
I know, I know... That's crazy talk.

But...but...we can keep the War On Christmas, can't we? We've almost got it won, be a damned shame to give up when we're so close to eliminating all things Christmas.

The problem with men in power who have that power is that they are paranoid the rest of the world is going to take their power away. Therefore, they wage war in order to keep that power.

With American rightwingers, everything's war. War on Drugs, War on crime, War on Terror, war on Poverty. The last one didn't turn out so well.
I've not heard so many war references in my lifetime as the ones coming from the USA.

Now wait a minute......what happened to the egregious amount of money we spend on our military, is it not -gasp- actually getting to the military? Imagine that. The military gets pointed to as an excuse to divert funds elsewhere (because who would dare say a bad word about our soldiers and their needs?). They cant afford to pay a rate that would entice the numbers of personnel they require, or meet the commitments they make to those personnel...and they can't get the resources required to fix the gear they use. Instead, experimental programs they repeatedly say they don't want get greenlighted and the money goes to defense contractors, all "for the troops".
Which troops, where, when?
The defense line in our budget is just a way to sneak another discretionary line in without owning up to it.
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!

And the Department of Defense doesn't share with us the bang for the buck they get on their secret programs.
Particularly the Bio-weapons Division.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
