It's finally nice to see someone make a stink about the massively inflated US military budget. When NASA says they want to go to the moon, everyone says they can't afford it, but never contemplate maybe sending 50 tanks to mop up a few dozen insurgents, rather than 60.
I was driving through Tucson, Arizona in the summer of 2003, and happened upon Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. I was astonished to see, quite literally, hundreds upon hundreds of fighter jets parked in the grounds of this place. It was almost terrifying, and a slap in the face to someone who had maybe seen 5 such jets at one time at an airshow in Red Deer in the 1980's. Who needs all those planes? Oy vey. Way to go, Andy.
