this is my tax money??

Seriously? Why are all you people leaving these ridiculously rude comments? I sincerely hope you people aren't Americans. Disagree with the political scene- fine- but these guys fight for us no matter what the ruling party says. The idea is to protect you and your rights. And you insult them... it just doesn't make sense to me. For the record, I'm not in the military.

@somedude84961 I must concur! It's amazing how ignorant people here in America have gotten.

They actually believe that if we had no defense we would be living in peace. I mean that would be great and beautiful and I really do wish that was reality!!!

But,,,,,, there are millions of people out there who would view this as a weakness ("Muslim Extremists") And, they would quickly take advantage of all the infidel "Happy Hippies" and convert or kill them in a heartbeat! They are instructed to do so!

@mickissomewhere OR WORSE YET! They relocate you far from the border and you become a pawn for hostage trading?????

Which is what would actually happen.

All you people bashing this practice (complaining about tax money spent) are truly and PUBLICLY short-sighted.

Imagine this,

You are working to help save starving families in an earthquake stricken land on the border of Iran. You get a little too close to the border and the Iranian Army snatches you up. Now we just can't fly in to pick you up, now can we?

Hmmm, how do we get a special ops team in there under the cover of night to come and snatch you back up before any harm is done to you?

[hintzofcolorconcepts]
