Strong Military

Fine. Give them that. But we should stop spending money on making new nukes, stop spending money on the newest and fastest plane when we have perfectly good ones still working, stop spending money on missiles, stop spending money on totally unneeded things. If we slash our budget, we can still have very well equipped troops, without unneeded and wasteful things.

We need EVERY advantage we are at war. You are an american your self and you want cut the budget in the middle of a war

. I think we need to take some of the welfare money and give it to military.

Its time to make our military even stronger. The war on terror needs to be won quickly.

Missiles, nukes and fancy planes can't win the war on terror.

**scooter_the_shooter** · 07-21-2005, 17:53

Oh yes thats why we need therapist for the insurgents

It wont be the weapons that win the war it will be the brave soldiers who use them. and they need the best things possible, planes and nukes included(hopefully not nukes but it may come to that)

Nukes have no real military purpose, especially in a war against terrorists. How can planes help, other than for survalience?
Making our military stronger can't win the war faster. It might if we were fighting a conventinal enemy, but we would just end up spending more money on things that will never get used.

we need every weapon avaible. steppe for 3 generations members of my family have been in the military they all agree we need every weapon possible. One even wanted to nuke afghanistan then carpet bomb the whole country

Its not our lives that depend on that equipment we should have NO say on taking that away from our soldiers.

Oh, so the politicians should? Or rather, the buisnesses that make the bombs and explosives that line the politicians pockets? You want guns and body armor for the infantry, that's fine. But most of the stuff that they spend it on isn't for the infantry soldier. How much does it cost to make a khevlar body suit and a rifle? We don't need all the money that we spend on the military, since most of it will never be used. We have countless of money guzzling nukes in the US, we certaintly don't need more.
How can a nuke or even a missile help fight against terrorists? Unless you are willing to slaughter countless of innocents, it can't. Oh wait, I forgot, innocents are supposed to die, so it doesn't matter, does it?
