''After 9/11, when we decided to attack violent extremism, we did as we so often do in this country. The attitude was, if it's worth doing, it's probably worth overdoing.''

Sounds about right. What's amazing is that with all that and 9 yrs of war we still have not found bin Laden, and its possible Mullah Omar will come back into a leadership position as the Taliban is negotiated and compromised with upon our inevitable departure.

Anymore I think all our military spending is good for are jobs programs, pork spending for Congressmen and JO material for gun nuts. We sure as hell don't seem to use it to actually win any wars we get ourselves involved in.

Thousands of lives lost or decimated by injury, trillion$ spent, and not a whole hell of a lot to show for it.

Are they spending too much? Of course they are, it's the government! Have we been attacked since 9/11? No! Would we have had another attack if none of these measures were taken? I wouldn't want to find out!
