Wow...we could obliterate Canada...dont worry Canada. We love you.
You're kidding right?? We could obliterate most of the free world and 2/3 of communist China just with the arsenal our sub fleet is carrying. (and probably ourselves in the process)Quote:

Imagine all the good that could come out of even 1/4 of that money if it went into something more constructive... Like education (you could probably send every kid to university with that), health (you could easily provide free national healthcare for a fraction of that money).
But no, get better at killing people, that solves lots of problems, right?
Lol! I was checking out that site, and checked Italy's military equipment...
Under Guns, there's various Brettas, Franchi shotguns, and, of course, indendiary pigs. There's nothing more effective than hurling burnt bacon at your enemies.
LOL....keepin' as busy as I can!!:thumbsup:Quote:

Heh nice link psycho :D
I was disappointed to see that the netherlands was not listed. They should be the world domination force, i say.
Wow, no wonder Pissy is so worried about Mexico.
Of course not. It's not what I was implying in fact, just the opposite. We spend far too much on military development especially when compared to what we spend on education and health care. It is truly an unnecessary travesty caused mostly by the fact that the military/industrial/energy complex contributes so much money to campaign coffers (and therefore owns out leaders asses). Also by the fact that our government can't keep it's nose out of other peoples business. I'm no fan of Fidel Castro or his cigars or his opressive rgime, but I do give him credit for having the nerve to tell the US to go fuck itself. And none of the so called peace politicos or fiscal conservatives have the balls to take on a broken system. IE....term limits and accountability...4 or 6 year terms limited to one or two terms(and never ever come back)...a decent 6 figure salary and no pension (get a real job like the rest of us). Our vets don't get shit for pensions or free health care so why should Ted Kennedy or Tom Delay? And you can count on one hand (or maybe two pairs of pants) the number of legislators kids who are in Iraq right now.Quote:

Hell, Iraq was considered a big dog and it was wasted in 100 days with minimal loss of life....THAT's what your money brings to the men and women in the service today. :thumbsup:Quote:

It's no different than the 230 million dollar bridge to nowhere in Alaska, payback for political favors and it needs to stop. Same thing for programs like welfare where we keep giving money to idiots who have been scamming the system and getting away with it for years. Or for that matter the hurricane mess with people buying Gucci bags and hookers with their rescue money. It's gotten so huge that it is just too easy to hide or lose track of all of the waste and mismanagement and incompetence. The only people that end up getting held accountable are the poor dumb bastards at the bottom of the food chain. Same thing or the botched missile defense program which can be compared to flinging a pebble at a flock of geese. Reminds me of a quote from the old far side cartoons...Quote:
