    Hello again, my:

    Well, this is one of those times when I wrote a great answer and it disappeared.  So, although you can't READ it, just know that it was GREAT.

    Re: "Peace through strength"

    Unless you're from the Department of Doublespeak and "Peace through strength" translates to "Imperial domination and unfettered access to cheap oil", then your statement about nothing being wrong with it is utter bulls**t.

    There's PLENTY wrong with having 700+ overseas military bases in 90+ countries around the world, and spending nearly as much on "defense" as THE REST OF THE WORLD COMBINED.

    The fact President Obama did little or nothing to reform the bankrupt idiotic mentality of the Military-Industrial Complex is yet another one of his failures. This post was edited by OldSchoolTheSKOSlives at December 24, 2016 10:01 AM MST
