#3  The world has been at the hair-trigger likelihood of nuclear war since the early 1960's. Why is this news now? Go to Wikipedia and look up Stanislav Petrov and Vasily Arkhipov, for starters.

YES! we need a strong US Military to defend the USA.

I for one, am fed-up with losing friends and their kids that joined the military to defend the USA... in 2nd & 3rd world countries that have ZERO return on US National Security. eg. Somalia Oct 1993->???.

For the last 50+ years our Military has spent more time defending or playing policeman to 2nd & 3rd world countries of the world, than securing our own borders.

So while the Military Industrial Complex is seeking sales to the US Military and has a long $$$ DONATION $$$ and after office/family employment track record for DC types.

My question simply is:
If the Pentagon gets more $$$$, is it just going to be used for a more DC directed Global Police work? Or, will there be a mandate requiring CONUS Security and Defense use only?
