Really?

"Bigger" doesn't mean how many soldiers you have. This isn't ancient Rome. One nuke and all those soldiers in China are dead.

My whole point is that we are being told to be scared of our own freakin' shadows in this country. Why? To make money for the defense contractors.

It's time to stop being scared of everything. All those fighter planes, nuclear weapons, soldiers in the field, guns, ships, tanks,etc. aren't going to save anybody from the big bad "terrorist" anyway.

And if any country were to actually try to engage the U.S. in an old-fashioned "our army against your army" war...we would quickly mobilize and defend ourselves. As I said: Look at what we did as nation in WW2.

There is absolutely no reason for this country to be at "war" in a perpetual state.

Our founding fathers never wanted it to be this way. It's downright Un-American to keep going around the world killing people with our military and claiming to be "defending freedom" while we're doing it.

It's ALL about the blood money that those companies are making and the Congressmen and Senators who funnel it to them.
