[MEpianist]

SOMEONE RAPE THIS

FUCKING CUNT

FUCKING CUNT

FUCKING CUNT

IN THE ASS. Where did this CUNT get her education?!?! She's useless paid shill of the "defense" industry. A fucking EICHMANN!!!!

[whippedboy]

Hey, you dumb bitch, you are a pathetic cheerleader and a fucked-up mouthepiece for a fucked up, lying organization. Die, you piece of shit stupid cunt.

[whippedboy]

HAHA!! I just heard this stupid bitch on KCRW and she got SLAMMED by 2 former cabinet members. The pathetic part was that she was saying the EXACT same thing, word-for-word, that she says in this bullshit video. She sounded like SUCH a moron on the radio. And everytime it was pointed out WHY she was wrong, she didn't deny it, she said, well, I agree with that. I had NEVER heard of her before until tonite but I knew exactly what her line of bullshit was as soon as she started talking.

Mackenzie & Heritage, your argument that we need to spend more on defense based on the selective example of old USAF aircraft is flawed. The reason the aircraft are so old isn't because DoD hasn't had enough budget, it's because they've wasted it on wrong programs. You guys advocate for the flawed programs. We can build a younger aircraft fleet within the existing budget.

[CaptainBuckRogers]

U serious. U mean that u don't have enough?

[ronniespraggs]

This sick bitch has a thing about ANTS! She reckons a super-powerful terror-ant put her into a coma, and she wants to spend $billions of bucks on a special anti-ant force and weaponry. Think I'm crazy?.... just Google "Mackenzie Eaglen + Ants" - you won't fuckin' believe it!

[whauck]

Why do we have military bases in 130 countries?

I fear we are heading the way of the Roman Empire unless we drastically cut back military spending.

[efg36]

The Airplane example means that the airforce didnt bougt jets in the last 16 Jears?

She said:

In 1993: Airforce jets in Average 9 years old

and

Now (2009;16 yeas later): Airforce jets (in average) over 24 Jears old (15 Jeas more)

I cant belive this

[airsoftcrazy456]

The World's Largest Military Spenders (Defense budgets in billions) United States $522, China $63, Russia $62, United Kingdom $51, Japan $45, France $42, Germany $30, India $22, Saudi Arabia $21, South Korea $21, Italy $17, Australia $13, Brazil $13, Canada $11, Turkey $10, Israel $10 Netherlands $10, Spain $9, Taiwan $8, Indonesia $8, Mayanmar $7, Ukraine $6, Singapore $6, Sweden $6, North Korea $6, Poland $5, Norway $5, Greece $5,Iran $5 Kuwait $4 US = 52x Israel & 8x China

[DrSituationist]

This is so unintentionally funny.  Or perhap the Heritage Foundation is trying to become a joke?

[fjfjvmvm]

We spend more on our military than the rest of the world combined. The majority of the discretionary federal budget is spent of the military. If we cut this insane spending we could all enjoy as immensely higher standard of living. Then we could direct the remaining spending to things to defend our country - not to launch murderous wars of aggression.

Stop listening to shills like this woman who has the audacity to say occupying other countries forever is fighting for freedom.

[LSraven1]

I would still like to bone Eaglen

[wwwPNACATTACKcom]

BULLSHIT!

[sdsomar1]

sick foundation

[bsenthil1]

This is a lie.

Search for "Military budget of the United States" in wikipedia

[trichenosis]

The reason we had a "hollow force" after Vietnam was because WAR CONSUMES MONEY, RESOURCES, AND HUMAN LIVES.

It's not a matter of spending, it's a matter of LOUSY POLICY. The Military shouldn't engage in all three of those things at the same time for any extended period of time. It was never meant to. We were never meant to be at war all the time.

This video advocates insanity.

[sdsomar1]

this video is rude...4% of gdp...who cares about gcp..51% of usa tax dollars goes to defense...this video is RUDE

[TOPrince]

Japan spends $42 billion yearly for national defense. Italy $28 billion. Russia $19 billion.

And how much does the U.S. spend? $455 billion! More than the rest of the world's nations COMBINED!

Sorry, but this broad has NO argument.

[mlw219]

What a babe! And she knows what she is talking about!

[trichenosis]

No, she's advocating insanity. She's a corporate shill.

[stephendedlus]

whose heritage are you suppoting? the slave owners or the slaves? or did slavery exist? the chickasaw or the utes? maybe the very first dutch explorers? the spainards? the blackfeet? i am confused - please explain.

P.S. - to quote FEAR - "Let's have a war so you can go and die." O that's right - you guys don't fight wars - only profit from them.

[trichenosis]

Exactly. The heritage foundation is nothing more than a military industrial complex think tank.

These guys sit around and figure out ways to STEAL from the public coffers to line their own pockets.

They want us to think we're under attack on all fronts, and that they are protecting us, that without them, we're doomed, so that we willingly give them our money.

[normstarrr]

Interesting, but very unrealistic. Check out "The Pentagon's New Map" by Barnett. There's a lot more to preserving our way of life, democracy, the global economy, etc. than can fit in this little box.

[3Deity]

Err, $81billion a year on black projects alone - and thats what publicly listed!

[Willbo29]

Clinton made a bunch of military cutbacks in the 1990s. Honestly, I think we are reaping the effects of his decision right now. Hell, we can't even defeat a bunch of third world rebels.

[thinazzabird]

YeHAY DERE WHERE DAIR WilboWAGGinS! T'were de Herbert TWALKer Bush Walker cut it by de third.  Conservatives do conservative things sometimes. An he left a heap'o Mogadishu fer thinkin' room- that was decent of him. Leave the ideas of how to turn soldiers into social workers to the Democrats, SERVES'EM RIght!

[normstarrr]

Clinton also cut the head off off the CIA, choosing to rely on satellites and electronics rather than agents on the street.  That's why we got caught with our pants down on 9/11.

[Willbo29]

Yeah, it will take many years to recuperate from some of the decisions that the last two presidents of this country have made. If we ever do recuperate.

[trichenosis]

We were caught with our pants down on 9-11 because the Bush administration allowed it to happen.  That's the BEST case scenario.

[CostAnalyst]

@Willbo29 Of course we could. We just don't employ the force that we could, because we are trying to nation build.

[zps00]

The argument concerning the old aircrafts. They're aircrafts. They're maintained much better than the average minivan. Other than that, this video may have a point...

[CostAnalyst]

@zps00 disagree. the old aircraft is a very serious problem. we need new ones. still doesn't justify a military budget increase, we just need to get smarter at spending the current budget.
