    Don’t get me wrong, God bless our military, it’s the best in the world. It’s just that military spending gets a free pass when it comes to wasteful government spending. Private companies spend millions on lobbyists, get awarded huge government multi-billion dollar contracts, pay ZERO taxes and it gets added to the untouchable defense budget.

    I’m thinking the GOVERMENT might want to put a bit more funds back into the Kitty. DO you think I’m wrong?

    Just my comment.

    To put back more of the funds that has been taken away from the military budget.

    I think you are missing the point. A fraction of the “military” budget actually goes to the troops.
