Well, I'm sure as hell not gonna be here 4 years from now.
People talk about lowering costs, all you need to do is lower the size of our humongous army, which half of is sitting at a base somewhere in the U.S. wasting our money.

Pear. Go. Go to a corner or something, and cry for the military's forgiveness. Now. :U NOW.

Yay, Bill died in the Senate. Maybe we can get those lazy arse Senators and Congressmen out, collecting all our money for their private jets.

I respect the many men and women serving in the war, and those who have given their lives. But, I think our military is unnecessarily large.
It just needs a bit of a diet, or liposuction. XD

I'm not saying patriotism's bad. I just think that we don't really need an army the size we have. We don't have any enemies other than insurgents, and our large army is precisely the reason they hate us.

You do realize that half of our army isn't even paid. They're volunteers, and they don't have to volunteer for you, but they do. Bite you tongue next time!

 

[Shuyin]

Technically they're all volunteers, since they weren't drafted, right? ; Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Uhm, what the hell? I wasn't disrespecting anyone, can I just say our army is too large without getting accused of treason for God's sake?
I do appreciate what they do. A lot. And even though they're volunteers who aren't getting much of a salary, they still use equipment and resources.

They don't sit around doing nothing, they're either training or out there in the field.

Also: So? It's better to be safe then sorry. I'd rather have a surplus of soldiers for defense rather than two brigades and a tank.

I reread what I wrote, and it did sound kinda do***ey. I didn't mean anyone disrespect, that's just how it came out of my head into words.

But the thing is, were setting up all these defenses for enemies that don't even exist yet.

Or don't seem to exist. The threat is always there.

@Shuyin: The draft was canned.

Or throwing puppies off of cliffs.

Or shooting up their own bases.

[John102]

Yay, no goverment run health care

I agree that the U.S. army needs to be smaller, they need to take all the god damned prisoners out of the army.

Better them fighting over in Iraq rather than moving Gitmo to Illinois. OH WAIT.

 

[Pear]

So, what's going to be in this bill then? Or is it getting completely thrown out?

 

[Sporge27]

Hold on here.... though they are volunteers they get pay,... and as advertised on every college campus everywhere they will pay for your college. Food, electricity supplies a ton can be spent on someone in the army. It does take up a large amount of money.

As for the Gitmo prisoners, I think they do deserve a trial as does everyone no matter their citizenship creed or culture. I don't know details, but I think some admitted already, but they get a trial.

As for the bill though it died it will be back. Might never pass but I still think it would be a worthwhile idea.

I hate how divided the nation has become, and really annoyed that I stereotype people on different sides of the issue.... but really it is more sad to me that I end up right most of the time when stereotyping..... why is it that people only seem to listen to those who agree with them on other issue, so that we get 2 groups so homogenized that you can say it is either red or blue with no shades of purple to be found...

1. Or shooting up their own bases.

1. was proven false.

2. He shouldn't have even been in that base in the first place. It's our damn government being so freaking PC that they couldn't turn down a Muslim general. Bastads.
