Cut military spending.
Get out of wars.
Leave the middle east.
Nuke North Korea if they launch a missile at us.

You can not do away with your occupying force and your air superiority you idiot. You want to decrease military spending than cut waste, fraud, and abuse from defense contractors. Government contract reform and accountability standards would decrease our defense budget greatly.

That we focus more on diplomacy. That the Air Force responsibilities could be transferred to a reserve component (ANG or USAFR). Understand the argument he is making (which is very sound from a historical standpoint) before you call someone idiot.

Contractors go where the money is. Just like education and healthcare. So curb the appetite and take away the means to spend money. That will hep reduce fraud, waste and abuse.

He's harmless. Fun to spin him up though.

Baw, y'all ran our asses for fifteen years straight and that was not good enough for you?

I think too logically. I would not let people know that I am a former officer and a U.S. Marine and post that drivel.
But that is just me.

Yeah, he's embarrassing, but at least he was an officer.

State is about diplomacy.
The War dept is about buying war materials and then using them to kill people.
no one believes its the defense dept. we are never attacked. we attack.

No way he was ever enlisted.
Posted on 3/17/17 at 5:46 pm to DisplacedBuckeye
He has said multiple times over he started out enlisted. I think (think) his commissioning source was OCS. But damn if he acts like he is autistic on here.
One minute to Wapner.

So he's half-enlisted. Sounds familiar.
Interesting...

Never trust a guy who went through OCS. They're all shady characters.

Me either, and I teach CGSOC.
