Congress has, for at least as long as there's been a Defense Department, used the defense budget as a way to fund all the bizarre shit they can't fund any other way. It's about a foot thick. It's Critical To Our Survival. And it contains immense numbers. With a billion.here and a billion there who's going to notice $5000 for a water ski safety film? Or $10,000 to study the mating.habits of rats?
The answer is to require Congresss justify in writing anything they try to add to the defense budget.

(20 posts)For whom the bell tolls after 12 years of war, have you hugged a veteran today?
America's generals Eisenhower, Patton, MacArthur exterminate the Germans and bloody Japanese in World War Two in four years. Today's generals enemy initiated the war with box cutters and CPs in caves and we have our generals with their intoxicating goddesses sitting on their moral compass announcing the war will continue past 2014 because of their judgment.
Generals have to be given a lie detector test and a drug test to determine their allegiance to United States of America or to the military-industrial complex. All the time our heroes return in flag draped coffins, and I beg you for whom the bell tolls?

(20 posts)12 years of war our heroes are coming back in flag draped coffins our generals are having difficulty focusing because of all the ungodly goddesses with unspeakable seduction on military code duty honor country has evaporated.
Working on a project, with my Congresswoman Grace Napolitano, I would like you to consider amending Veterans Day with a clause to include family members of veterans. I volunteer at Loma Linda veterans hospital I also volunteer in my community supporting veterans and family members. In my opinion family members are serving alongside their loved ones enduring all forms of agony and anxiety as members of our military have been doing multiple towards since 9/11. If you have reason to feel that this is appropriate venture to support ask your Congress representative to support my Congresswoman Grace Napolitano.

(20 posts)As Americans we have no greater Champion than our military standing at the wall 24 seven. Unfortunately many Americans prefer dancing with the stars then contemplating the sacrifices of repeated deployments in harms way, have our military and their families enduring the strain and agony of the unknown.
We sin in silence as Americans we should be protesting because silence makes cowards out of men.
