"But you don't need to worry. Our military protects you regardless."

The "have you stopped beating your wife" post of this thread. Now promoting fiscal responsibility and oversight is now synonymous with being against the military. Bravo. Disingenuous much??

Sure there is fraud and waste everywhere, but nowhere is it as prevalent as it is with anything that is connected to a government contract/tit.

I guess "for the troops" is now on the shelf right next to "for the children" in the toolbox of debate stifling. Once enacted, no further investigation is allowed. Regardless of whether any of that money is actually used for the troops or for the children. But it gives the issuer a very warm feeling in their bellies and makes them feel good.

Wrong. Fraud and waste is far, far greater in non-defense programs. I think most audits have shown this.
