No one ever brings up the financial cost of these wars we keep fighting. Wouldn't you rather take that money and spend it on improving the lives of Americans everywhere. Rather than going into the military industrial complex's coffers? None of us really even understand fully why we have troops in these countries in the first place, since non of us are privy to classified information.
Is it gold? Oil? Tungsten? Geo political? How do these wars benefit us? the people of the united states?
12Clicks your obviously a fiscal conservative, nothing wrong with that. But, I'm pretty sure the amount of tax payers $$ we spend on war, is far higher than health care.

when in the entire history of mankind has there not been war?
when he's the unprepared, weaker country not lost in war?
sadly, the military is a necessary evil when you have something someone else would like.
