"The Obama Administration has requested a total of $668 billion for the Department of Defense (DoD) in the FY 2010 budget. The “base” budget for the Department includes $534 billion in discretionary funding and an additional $4 billion in mandatory funding. The budget also includes, for the first time, full-year funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—now termed Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). The cost of the wars is estimated at $130 billion for FY 2010. In real terms, the base DoD budget is an $18 billion increase over last year’s budget, while the funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is a $17 billion decrease from FY 2009"

Are the chickenhawks happy now?

I think he is referring to Canadian military

the whole war defense thing is overrated.
im referring to the annual bloodsucking Research and defense contracts,not the actual war itself.

these corporations exist off our money,developing new ways to kill others.
why?
we have a million ways to kill people Now.
why are we still spending money on this?

why dont we return that money into the school districts where its Really needed?

why arent we spending money on more outer space defenses?
to defend from asteroids and such?

or more ways to get off this planet,before we use Every resource on it?
