I don't support the troops

The Chinese have long been dreaming of nuking Toronto.

See, you know it!

The government has agreed with my current level of payment.

Ditto.

probably less than the government spends in the first year on a PV1

Rofl, that would be a hella cheap law school if true. PV1 only makes about 17k a year before taxes.

Why would anyone nuke Canada? It would be so cruel to waste nuclear bombs like that.

The government spends more than just pay on a PV1 and government backed loans funded just a part of my law school costs.

The reason you can have your opinion in good conscience is because you have the pleasant luxury of not knowing what Obama knows. Fact is, bringing the troops home and chopping our defense spending is not a good idea.

So what you are saying is that we need actual transparency in government.

 

[Flying Pig]

Bear in mind that actual transparency also allows the beardies to see everything.

They see more than we do as it is, which is relevant to their current position.

We don't need to spend so much on defense. People complain about spending in all areas, but we spend almost 45% of the world's defense spending. This is unnecessary, especially since these wars are NOT making America safer (or protecting our freedoms, or whatever you want to claim). Bring the troops home, cut defense by a third, and have all the money you want for Universal Healthcare (basic right), better education, and all the social programs that lead to equal opportunity.

Is this so hard?

People are going to say that this is a very broad topic and I am being too aggressive and general. But I am just looking at the big picture and just considering what is ethical, and what is right. And this is the right thing to do, and ultimately, that should be the be-all and end-all of these kinds of discussions, and the rest is just logistics.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Right. If they knew half of what Pvt Atkins knows we'd be in the muck.
