The long Decades of DeJa-Vu's continue in a society that finds no problem with wasting huge amounts on a defense industry, even when that waste and corruption comes to light way to late, and those using same ever expanding DoD budgets, while obstructing and short changing the Veterans Administration, and saying they are the only ones 'strong on national defense', while arguing every other real need society budgets should be slashed, even those the citizens contribute to throughout their working lives! After the billions upon billions upon billions spent on defense budgets as well as intelligence gathering, think Powell at the UN, just remember the words of a previous defense secretary when confronted by soldiers in these two present theaters of occupation as to why the faulty equipment or none at all that were killing and maiming their brothers and sisters, "As you know, you go to war with the Army you have. They're not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time.!", let that sink in as to decades of ever expanding DoD and Intelligence budgets and underfunded VA!
No Revenues = Still No Sacrifice = There Never Was Any 'Support' For The Troops!!
No Sacrifice now a decade long added to the previous decades!!
Already known through decades of our brothers and sisters living those false patriotic? meme's!

From the Marines battling a fierce insurgency in southwestern Afghanistan to soldiers packing up to leave Iraq, troops quizzed Mullen about rumors that military retirement benefits and health care would be affected as part of the debt compromise being hammered out in Congress.
"If we're going to cut spending, we have to go where the money is," Mullen told several hundred troops gathered at the Al Faw Palace on the soon-to-be-shuttered Camp Victory outside Baghdad on Tuesday morning. read more>>>
