or at least as much military spending as Lindsey thinks is appropriate. You kind of wonder - seems like a waste - why not just have the soldiers replace congress - let them vote themselves more money; or more appropriately, let them vote military contractors more money.

Nah, I guess that wouldn't work. They might also want to increase spending on veterans, and that wouldn't be fiscally prudent. The ideal situation is to have the military replace the elected representatives with military contractors who would vote themselves more money without the risk of wanting to increase spending for veteran's affairs.
