Barney Frank proposes drastic military budget cuts

[rbell]

How do the needs of the military differ from the needs of the civilians? (needs, not tools)

If you can't figure out there's a difference, it will take too much effort to enlighten you.

Not to mention that you don't discuss, anyway...you "post and run."

The world has never been a more dangerous place.

The world was more a dangerous place during World War II and the Cold War(especially during the Cuban missile crisis).

The "needs" of the military are the tools.

Do civilians "need" body armor? Up-armored humvees? Planes that can perform close-air and long-range bombing support? Tanks that not only take the fight to the enemy, but protect the troops inside them?

And let's not forget: What's President Obama going to do about this?

I adamantly disagree......
