Obama takes flak on defense downsizing – USATODAY.com
The United States spends more on military than the next 13 countries combined. Our military is used more and more to protect American commercial interests around the world which transfers the cost of security from those companies to the American Taxpayer.
In the early '90s Bill Clinton did the same thing. Bases were closed and resources reallocated. This worked until President Bush took us into war in Iraq. It was an unwise and unnecessary war that has cost us dearly and has rendered no reward.
We do not need a monstrous military to protect the United States. It is needed, however, to support the burgeoning industries that supply the military with the means to wage war.
This is misinformation. Cut the military budget and focus on establishing cooperative ties with other nations that will ease the way for our interests.
