It's against any forms of socialism found around the world in either grass roots movements or governments who have the audacity to challenge Capatlism..

Similar questions were asked before World War II. They received their answer when Hitler invaded Poland and threatened the world.

you asking this questions signifies a problem. Marianne, the world is not a tea party for 5 - year olds. Honestly. There are threats. I know it's not pleasing to your emotions to think about, but being protected is more important than your feelings party.

Defense is a misnomer. It's department of offense against self-made enemies, designed for one purpose: to make Wall Street Rich at the cost of human lives everywhere.

Open sea lanes so anyone can trade with anyone instead of having competing empires. We could still do it for less.

It鈥檚 supporting the military industrial complex at our expense. It鈥檚 keeping our society鈥檚 monsters employed with a legal outlet for their worst instincts.

That money is for soldiers who would otherwise be unemployed. Consider it as welfare that keeps young men and women off the dole.
