Do you support abolishing the military?

[mad cow]

No.
Provide for the common defence.From the first sentence in the Constitution and,IMO,one of the only important reasons for having a Federal Government in the first place.

I think all soldiers should be brought home from overseas immediately and never sent overseas again without a declaration of war by Congress and the standing Army and Air Force should be reduced by 70-90%.

However,you are not going to train and equip a 21st century military overnight and now and throughout history justifiable war,like justifiable self defense,happens.Whether you want it to or not.

The Army and the Air Force can be legally defunded,forever or for any two year period,any time that Congress disagrees with me.

What a dumb question. Why not send al-Qaeda and North Korea an invitation to invade us?

Send Al-Qaeda or North Korea an invitation to invade us?

That's a literal LOL.

Yes. Socialism is no better for defense than it is for bread, shoes, the internet, or anything else. As is always the case with failures of socialism, our defenses are now weaker, and us less safe as a result, of our socialistic defense.

A terrorist organization without an army and a small weak country that can't feed itself?

I want to at least know what we need an army for. Canada and Mexico are the only countries we have a border with. Otherwise, our army is not physically capable of being used unless it is deployed overseas.

So long as we have a standing army we will remain at war. Without one, we would never go to war.

Well, I don't think it was stupid. The notice to register is pretty scary, although we've discovered they have not prosecuted anyone for declining to register. We will never apply for government assistance of any kind, even for higher education.

I'll admit the truth, I did it for financial aid, not because I was scared.

Regarding education, to be clear, I don't actually support financial aid, and I support its abolition. I also believe its abolition would make education a lot cheaper.

That said, while I believe the existance of government assistance is immoral, I certainly don't see what's wrong with using what's there, seeing as you are either taking advantage of what you're being forced to pay for, or stealing from thieves, depending on how you look at it. Neither of which do I see a problem with.

Do you think its dumb that I voted for option 3 out of agreement with the Founding Fathers?

Am I really the only one that agrees with them?

Fine, Mexicans and homosexuals will invade if we abolish the military since al-Qaeda and North Korea aren't big enough threats in your eyes.

There may come a time where a ground war is needed. We are getting to the point in technological history where it is not. That is, we have planes that can be anywhere in the world and munitions for every situation conceivable.

The minds of the people still need to change though. Able bodied men should be well versed with a rifle of their choosing. I have no doubts that if someone attempted the ridiculously, strategically stupid move of invading the US, it would be their downfall. I do want to deter such an invasion though, in the case of men who may have god like egos and aspirations of domination.

I agree with you. An army is unnecessary.

Abolishing the military, I'm not so sure. A navy and air defense (until attacked) would be best. People being trained and of the mind frame that their defense is theirs would be great as well. Of course if we were more diplomatic and ceased the entangling alliances, we'd all be a lot safer.

Mexicans are too lazy to invade. As for the homos, they have already invaded.

Me either. I'm a bit past the age they would want now.

Why do countries invade other countries?
To take over their tax farms.

We need to get rid of the income tax, federal reserve, and military so we can live in peace.
