Would you argue that we don't need a military?

Would you argue that we don't need a military?

That hasn't been a topic in this thread.

I'd argue Ayn Rand shouldn't be someone we look to as guide for how to shape the government.

But to answer your question, I'd definitely argue we don't need a military that has 1.4 million people in it with an annual budget in hundreds of billions of dollars.

billions of tax dollars going towards aiding zionists

Netanyahu
Jews who hated George Bush but love Netanyahu when they have identical views on foreign policy
supporting the Patriot Act because Netanyahu tells them to

People who don't support our out-of-control foreign policy being labeled "anti-Semitic" by neocons
Those same neocons complaining about Obama's foreign policy, which is a carbon copy of Dubya's

the anti-Semite one comes up quite a bit. When I'm arguing with my Jewish friends about Israel, they're always at a loss for words because they can't resort to the "you're just an anti-Semite!" name calling they're used to using with other people knowing they'd look ridiculous calling someone an anti-Semite when they were at his bar-mitzvah.

The bull goes both ways with the Bush vs. Obama foreign policy. I see a lot of flip flopping from Obamafans and a lot of simply making up from neocons. Obamafans went from being critical of the Patriot Act to blindly defending it (and the NDAA) because we need to worry about the Islamic boogeyman and support Israel. Neocons just say blatantly false like "Obama hates Israel!" or "Obama lets the presence of Islam in the middle east run rampant!" that I was was true. A neocon Jew I know who went balls deep for Romney took it to a new level leading up to the election when he was saying, "Obama should be going to war with Iran because Netanyahu is saying he should!"

But we DO need a military, correct? If so, then you are on the same page that I am. I'd like the military to be shrunk as well... Assuming they cut down on some of our missions.

Ofcourse she wants an army to protect the criminal, individualistic oilco bible-thumping bankster bubbas running the VRWC, and what's more selfless than letting messicans be the cannon fodder?

America the brave is ed and un able, GFY.

Knowledge of subject at hand down the drain.

The side that doesn't post something wrong because I read it and didn't go by my professor's word?
idiot

[spursncowboys]

Neocons continuing to demand big government

WTF are you talking about

[spursncowboys]

zionist mercenaries
thinking that you defend the United State then you get deployed to defend Israel

LOL king: Do you ever have facts for your non-sense? Do you ever make sense?

What many of those students are not walking away with is something that has long been recognized as invaluable — higher order thinking and reasoning skills.

I have a lot more facts than people who think option trading is illegal rofl rofl

Cool. I have no idea why the the subject of "Do we need a military" is relevant.

Do you think the sun is gonna rise tomorrow? If so then WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE!

Glad you have facts. Just wish you could use them. Then again that would take you using cognitive thought, and not regurgitating a professor.

How was it hyperbole?

That's amusing since you didn't read your own article you posted. Maybe if you read it, you'll find out.

Intellectual effort and academic rigor, in the minds of many of the nation’s college students, is becoming increasingly less important.

[spursncowboys]

not disagreeing your lack of, or using, cognitive thinking in your response
