Liberals like to cut military spending why?

Question

Also what would liberals do to "combat" aggression" Is cut and run your only answer?

Answer 1

It's an expression of contempt and an act of betrayal. They figure they can combat aggression by lighting candles and singing Kumbaya.

Answer 2

Dear Troll, Because they know a lost cause when they see one. Bush had no plan whatsoever and underestimated the strength of the enemy. Bush thought it would be an easy grab for oil and No one could care less about whether Iraqis live in a democracy not even the Iraqi people. The Iraqi people will always be sheep just like the flip flopping Republicans who are going back to vote Democrat again. Bush and all Republicans are cutting and running. Bush is a fool, an ignorant hillbilly and the nation followed him because of them being even more stupid. I guess people are tired of seeing their children coming home in body bags for a lost cause that was poorly thought out. By the way Bush is not a true conservative nor does he represent a true Republican. Never did never will.

Answer 3

If we're not off fighting useless and ridiculous "wars on terror," we don't have to spend as much on the military. We can use that money at home, where it belongs, instead of using it to kill Iraqi civilians and our own soldiers for no good reason, and to line the pockets of Halliburton.

Which agression are you talking about? Saddam Hussein's "agression?" The guy was bottled up in Iraq, with UN sanctions keeping him from doing anything, and no WMDs to play with. There was no agression, the dude was already finished. And Afgahni "agression?" Yep, many of the 9/11 terrorists were trained in Afghanistan. Yep, Bin Laden was there. So we went in and took over the country. Didn't catch Bin Laden. Didn't wipe out the terrorist camps. Kicked out the Taliban, but now they're staging a serious comeback. Yep, what a great job you republicans did on defense. Who won in all of this? The defense contractors, who got not only your tax dollars to the tune of billions of dollars of profit, but also got all the money we BORROWED (mostly from foreign governments) to pay for their new weapon toys because W cut taxes on the rich. That's who has benefited from republican increased military spending.

Answer 4

How many carrier battle groups do we really need? How many 1BB+ bombers do we need? Our military is big enough-- we spend over 400B per year on the military.

Be careful with that Cut and Run stuff-- Bush is about to do propose that very thing soon-- just wait.

Ok, I'll make you a deal-- how about we do a across-the-board cut on the federal budget- 30% all around ought to do. How's that for a deal?

Answer 5

The US spends more on their military than all the other countries of the world combined. Too much is too much.

After a point, more spending is not about national defense, but just an excuse to give taxpayer's money to corporations that make war-related products.

Answer 6

It sounds like you already think you have the answer to your own question and are just looking for followers. What's the point of asking a question if you're only looking for people who agree with you?

Answer 7

What is the army needed for? You have nuclear weapons don't you, isn't that enough to stop people even contemplating an invasion, what with the instant annihilation of the entire world and all? If it's NOT enough then why do you have them in the first place?

Ohhhh wait, I've got it - you need the army for 'regime change' and 'spreading democracy'. 100% on the REMOVING despotic leaders, 0% on hearts and minds, introducing democracy and actually CHANGING the regime. Successful.
