re: #407 Gus 802

Yeah, but you know we’re obsessed with having the best military in the world. Have been since the end of WWII and the start of the Cold War. For what though? Where is it written in the Constitution that we have to be the world’s military protectorate?

I seem to remember that the USS Comfort and Mercy fall under the Military Budget. I think I saw a few newscasts in which Military Doctors were administering care and vaccines to Iraqi’s. JROTC, ROTC fall under the military budget.

I also think there is a lot of hidden dollars in the military budget that might otherwise fall under “foreign aid”.

Yes, there is a lot of waste, and a lot of money we don’t think of as “military spending” that is, in fact, military spending.

I’d like to see a breakdown of these figures to see exactly what is spent under the “military budget”.
