Remember, folks: a 0% is a rating, and is more desirable than no rating. My grandfather (Navy cook, tail-end of WWII), says to stay away from the VA in Oklahoma City. He likes the one down around Dallas.

Yup, understood. Are you saying that the military is a want? Or a need? You want to cut defense spending down to $4.5 trillion; but you don't know enough about the military to give any kind of intelligent response as to how to make those cuts. You want the military to figure it out? I worked...

Dude, step back and take a breath. While I agree that we should protect our nation and its citizens, let's not sink to an inappropriate level. Or forget that the ones we're hunting are sinners in need of a savior.

Won't Obamacare fix this?

It was requested that rather than continue in a thread where this subject had already been initiated, that I start a new thread. So here it is. My response:

There were a couple; but most of them were against Romney on the basis of being mormon. In the meantime, I'd like to ask these people: Who are they going to vote for? What other viable candidates are out there? I don't like Romney. I think we'll be singing the same song we sang with Clinton...

Wilco. (for you non-military types: "Will Comply." Not supposed to be used with "Roger," as the two mean essentially the same thing; so saying "Roger, wilco" is redundant. That's your military communication education tip of the day. No charge.)

S-N -- don't make sounds like you're trying to close out this thread. I'm finding this extremely informative. Y'all keep the stories coming; I'm learning things. ;) Air Force denied my initial application for retirement. My original request was to retire in about 5 months; suffice to say, I...

Total budgeted defense spending is approximately $.9 trillion; budgeted health care is $1.1 trillion, and that's without Obamacare currently in place. Welfare is at $.7 trillion. So free, what military programs do you propose cutting? Or do you just propose cutting the paychecks of the...

What I think is criminal is people like CTB who make such statements; then, when shown the statistics/facts, you never hear from them again on the subject...until such a time as they can say something bad about it, completely ignoring that their previous complaint was shown to be without merit...

I think you meant "moot." And not really a moot point; the question for you is, are you saying the military will rule? Or be used? The point is, who do we direct our ill feelings towards? The military? Or those that would use them--and any other means necessary--to inflict their rule over us...

Amen. And allow me to add: The ones who kept the home fires burning. The parents, wives, husbands, children, family, who waited. The ones who made sure there were beans, bullets, and beds, even though they thought they weren't really contributing. We owe you all a debt of gratitude, and will...

Ruled "by" or "with"? There's a difference. One implies the military will be the rulers; the other, that the military will be used to rule.

Please skip to the part where you explain why God creates people simply to throw them into the lake of fire.

Yeah, well, to that I say: "§"

And the answer is: Yes. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2150281/REVEALED-Hundreds-words-avoid-using-online-dont-want-government-spying-you.html?ICO=most_read_module

Gah, my brain hurts....

At the risk of derailing the thread: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, I dunno; quantum mechanics says both are possible.... (facetiousness intended to defuse hostile climate)
