Geez
$753 billion ?!

What a waste of taxpayer funds, but I get it; the military industrial complex has us bent over a barrel and has most of the politicians in its back pocket.  Any suggestion of cutting military spending is framed as “un-American”—hogwash. 

We are either wasting an exorbitant amount of money or we are preparing for a war with these space aliens that are flying around because the next 10 nations don’t spend as much as us.

No you're right, war is totally a thing of the past just because Libs say so. China's not on any kind of military build-up. And Russia and N Korea and the Arab World (Iran, Hamas, ISIS etc.), are actually pu$$y cats that just want to snuggle.

And anyway, that money could be much better spent as there are so many people and so many votes to buy .

Be prepared to see a load of liberal propaganda about how this country spends more than the next 10 largest military powers in the world. It's not true, but that has never stopped liberals from recycling discredited talking points in the past. China is in the midst of a massive buildup of its military and they are quickly closing the gap with the U.S. in space. Recruiting, fielding, and supporting a Chinese soldier or sailor costs a fraction of what it costs this country to do the same, so defense expenditures are not a great way to compare our military with China's or Russia's.

It is no coincidence that the same idiots who want us to believe that the U.S. spends too much on national security are opposed to national borders and in favor of providing free healthcare and other benefits to illegal aliens. Those same people are often able bodied individuals of working age who believe that the government owes them generous checks each month just for breathing the same air that we breathe.

I remember the GOP propaganda about WMD'S The 2012 president election Iran was 6 months from a nuclear weapon even brought in the big gun Netanyahu to speak in front of congress by the way without asking our president that's a first.

I’ll be damned Wrong Way Hooter was right about something.  By just a few billion we spend more than the next 9 nations not 10. Of course that’s nothing to write home about and the chickenwarhawks drawing a check from the military industrial complex peg it as the end of the world. 

I have a novel idea. If we are worried about China’s saber rattling, How about we spend more on diplomacy instead of cut it?  China’s military build up could be the result absolutely moronic foreign and trade policy over the past 4 years. 

No one wants WWIII.  It won’t end with Earth intact.

Or possibly there is this. According to our Creator, Cain slew his brother Abel. Not for want of education, or life style, or possessions, or health care, or for abuse, or because Adam dropped him on his head as a baby. Cain was jealous, and killed his brother because the Lord accepted Abel's offering but rejected his own. The predilection to wage war is in man's blood. He will actually gather one day to confront the forces of God Himself at Armageddon.

There have been wars across the globe throughout the entirety of the existence of man to include within the first family. And the Lord has declared that war will for practical purposes, be the climax of his time of earthly freewill. I said this before on here but liberals are goofy where it comes to playing nicey-nicey and thinking that will work. It's called appeasement and I would challenge any of our liberal brethren to give us one historical example of appeasement ever having worked. Appeasement BTW, includes kissing up, diplomacy, bribery, 'if you can't beat them join them,' and down on one's knees begging. If America has lost her will to defend herself then it's over and frankly, we were tested in war the very first year of our existence and we have had to fight in no fewer than 95 wars since 1776.

Talking begging and appeasements do not work, end of story. The specter of war plagues every nation continually, always has. The US won WW2 and immediately, we were under threat of nuclear war by our former ally, Russia. War is coming and other than the willingness to rise to arms in defense of our land, there is not one thing other than denial with which to confront it.
