Did you really put these two sentences together and not mention that Gov't funding of military is totally corrupt?

National DEFENSE is priority #1. That means military.

That does NOT mean:
OFFENSE,
occupying other countries,
"establishing democracy" abroad,
securing oil for our multinational oil companies
spying on US citizens
maintaining military bases in 132+ countries
pre-emtive wars, bombings, etc.
funding militaries of other countries (Israel, etc.)
wars on "terrorism"

probably 90%+ of what is spent is unnecessary, despite this being one of the top priorities of the federal government. This is the "military industrial complex" we were warned against.


I'm talking in principle, not about the current state of the U.S. government specifically. I agree that only defensive military action is justified.
