WHAT DOES A 4F DRAFT DODGER KNOW ABOUT MILITARY STUFF, SHUT UP DUMMY

[Rebel-Fan-74]

Slick,

I was told that you were not 4F,
you were 4E and I didn't know that one.

I looked it up and the E stands for "EVEN"
Even if we are invaded we don't need you!

Can you perhaps get a reading on how we might be able to cut the military budget and shift those funds to helpful programs, like say, healthcare, homelessness, and veteran's benefits? Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can. LOL

In the last 10 years we've built 2 aircraft carriers and we've scrapped, sunk or decommissioned 9. I think we've cut our naval air assets enough.

When every mouth is fed, when everyone sleeps in a warm bed inside, when everyone has healthcare, then, and only then, can we stop cutting the military budget. As long as we have bullets to shoot our own civilians, we have too much military equipment.

You and I obviously have differing opinions on the roles, responsibilities and powers of the federal government.

No need to have anything if we are unable to protect it.
