Anyone else horrified their tax dollars buy death?

Personally, whenever I think about it, it disgusts me. Some rifle my taxes bought probably is responsible for some Afghani civilian's brains splattered across the street as we speak. Either that or some new anti-drug propaganda is being paid for.

<sigh> such narrow minded thoughts... Your tax dollars go to a whole lot more than just weapons for the military. Personally, I take comfort in knowing that my tax dollars are going to pay the salaries of our military, and supporting their families. These are the folks that defend your right to freedom of speech.

Before you get your panties in a wad, I am 53 years old, retired military, a business owner(paying both personal and business taxes), and have a whole lot of lifes experiences behind me. Come talk to me in about 10 years after your out of school.
