The problem with military spending is that it is THE biggest pork barrel in the entire US budget.

It's the opposite of NIMBY...everyone's for saving money, just don't close the base in my district, or reduce the billions spent on fighter jets in my district, or the billions spent on guidance systems in my district, or the billions spent on naval ships in my district...blah, blah, blah...

It's just like the current entitlement debate...everyone wants to reduce spending on entitlements, so long as it's not MY entitlement that gets cut.

"No Gubmint Takeover of Health Care! But Keep Your Hands Off My Medicare!!"

Fish on...
