@nibbler032 Do you think you're slightly hypochondriac?
What is this fixation you have with cancer, and why would a hell-bound
muthafucka like you be so scared of the hereafter?

@lesdoyle2000 Only 18? The Taliban need to ramp up the pressure. US soldiers are such losers. In the USA, hero is a trite phrase that has come to mean chump.

@johnnyd101 I wasn't trying to disrespect soldiers or anything (I served in the military), but I always hear that the military spending benefits the economy. In WW2 it did due to the whole society being mobilized for war. That is not the case today.I would agree with almost everything you have stated above, but won't hold my breath that any of it will occur unfortunately!

@johnnyd101 i do now, thanks i never looked at it like that

@nibbler032 what you don't believe in magic??

@partymariner have to agree about the soldiers. The way the US reduces it deficit is by closing a lot of the tax loopholes, make cuts in entitlement scheme's and get rid of medicare and medicaid and introduce universal health care. also the withdrawl's from iraq and afganistan will reduce military spending as well. would you agree??

The US is in Afghanistan to protect / keep the Opium flow going, to build / maintain the pipeline, and to procure / steal rare earth minerals.
Other than that, they are just there to help...

We lose 18 combat veterans a day to suicide.
Veterans make up 25% of the homeless population in the United States.
The unemployment rate of veterans is twice that of the civilian population
76% of veterans experience alcohol, drug or mental health problems
