As with everyone else posting so far, I wanna say you've pretty much got the right of it. I want to add that military spending takes a disproportionate amount of our budget and if any of the people in power REALLY wanted to make a dent in our budget deficit, they could likely do so by taking a fine-tooth comb over all our military expenditures and, just by reducing waste, probably come up with quite a bit of money.

It is just evil that the country is in the state it is in, that this state of affairs originated a long time ago and will likely keep getting worse and worse until our kids or grandkids get screwed by it.
