I kind of agree with David Stockman on this. Why does the GOP think we need to be involved in war all the time?

    In the entire history of the US, the US has not been at war for only one five year period. So much for the US not being bellicose, imperilistic, and peace loving.

    Strange you should say that. Most Wars are started by Democrats. WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam just to name the biggies. The latest is Afghanistan II. Starting after the end of WWII with Greece the ratio of US Service personnel killed in wars started by Democrats is 154 to 1 unless you give a wink an nod to Nixons conduct of the LBJ's Vietnam War then it's 18 to one Killed by Democrats for every one killed in a war (conflict whatever) starteed by a Republican. Wars lost by Democrats. None if you remember the real purpose was always political or economic. Wars won and lost by Demcrats after the fact It's a long long list.

    You come down talking Republican vs democrats when it comes to wars make sure there are no soldiers and survivors of those belonging to the War Monger Party which now includes Republicans. We have very long memories. One of the reasons I doubt the military would follow it's oath of office. Most of us believe by bitter experience you weren't worth the effort. We have to remind ourselves our oath was to something worthwhile called the Constitution something the Democrats have long forgotten. Kilo Mike Alpha

    Objectively speaking we considered Democrats to be on the other side - where they invariably could be found . And still do.

    Yes, with James Taggart like corporate greed and corrupt politicians and unearned wealth billionaires the only ones to make some money off of it all.

    Stockman was Reagan's budget guy and has always made sense to me. The only GOP presidential candidate who agrees with Stockman is Rand Paul, who appears relegated to obscurity. Sad.
