Bill Clinton Elminated Spending on Anti-Missile Defenses. Do You Trust Hillary & the Dems?

Question

... to have the insight needed to develop weapons to protect our kids in the future?

Answer 1

No...Next question.

Answer 2

When was the last time we were likely to be threatened by a missile attack?

Anti-missile systems like the ones dropped in the 1990s are only useful against intercontinental ballistic missiles, and some types of cruise missiles. Aside from China, there is very little likelihood of any possible enemy using that type of attack.

It makes far more sense to concentrate on stopping the likely forms of attack, rather than spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a defense system that will likely never be needed.

Answer 3

These weapons won't protect your kids in this day and age of a non-country type of enemy. This is such a wasteful program. It's doing nothing for your kids except wasting the money that could otherwise go toward your kid's education. I trust Hillary will hopefully do the right thing and get rid of that program once and for all.

Answer 4

Worse then that he also cut the size of the Army in half and declared a procurement holiday; both that are still causing huge repercussions such as 80 year old front line aircraft (since there is nothing to replace them, the Air Force expects to still be using B-52s (now only 50 years old) as a front line aircraft in 2030), lack of personal body armor, lack of light troops, lack of spare parts, etc, etc, etc.

Answer 5

Anti missile defense is nothing but a military industrial complex scheme to pilfer more treasure. Reagan began that nonsense for the kickbacks. Its an empty excuse to blow defense appropriations. If they really meant to do it they would have succeeded by now.

If youre not going to install accountability penalties with deadlines in the contract you might as well just open the vault and let them take what they want.

Answer 6

No anti-missile system has ever been shown to be effective.

FYI terrorists will be bringing that nuke you keep talking about in boat, they don't have missiles that could reach us.

What has Bush done to protect our ports?

Answer 7

hmmm....i am a full dem. but idk...yes since the va tech thing, they better help out and not sell it to kids and stuff

Answer 8

A politician is a politician. Keep a hand on your wallet and an eye on your kids.

Answer 9

speaking of spending...whose going to protect the kids in the future from trillions of dollars of debt clearly for reasons of people like you that act like scared little monkeys by supporting our government to attack countries pre-emptively.

Our paranoid behavior will ultimately be our countries down fall.

Answer 10

i think the dems would have enough sense to not sell our port security to a middle eastern country.......reps tried.........
we don't need missile defense.....we need homeland security...something the current administration is too willing to sell to anyone for a quick buck and a few oil favors...........

Answer 11

Bill Clinton also refused to supply our soldiers with body armor.

The only soldiers with access to body armor when Clinton left, were special forces soldiers.

Everyone else, had to use Vietman era flaq vest.

He also did not outfit the military with any up armored humvees.
