In reply to the discussion: Dear Democrats, the Republicans are handing us the Military [View all]Baked Potato
(7,733 posts)The Repubs thought they were going to be all clever with Vietnam lessons learned and not show the deceased soldiers. Another phony move on their part. They thought they would have glory days with Iraq, and of course it was a disaster. The Democrats showed compassion and respect that was not forgotten.
There will always be a portion of the upper echelons of the military who will be hawkish. Our job is to pressure them and tamp down unjust wars. We should fund base housing projects, base daycare centers, upgrade morale programs and the like. The MIC will want their money and there is compromise there. The stupid Republicans are the ones who forced Sequestration during President Obamas tour and caused severe cuts in the military budgets.
Thank you for your thoughts.
