Notice that those who are speaking are all Generals? They seem like little boys with their toy soldiers, waging war somewhere. Now don’t get me wrong: I’m all in favor of the “War on Terror” that started on 9/11/01. But going into other nations that are having civil wars just isn’t right nor necessary. So why can’t we cut the war budget a bit and put those funds into Education, where it can do some good for the Future of our Country?
cus if anything 9/11 taught us nobody is out to get us. There are no bad guys. And if we just give away all our 1%er the world would be at peace and we would not need war…
Cuts to education is a necessity if the generals are to have more cannon fodder, the Republicants more voters, and the Christian right more homophobes, anti-abortion, snake charming droids.
Viet Nam, it turns out in truth, we shot first. Grenada-we shot first. Panama-we shot first. Afghanistan-we shot first (at the people we put in power after Russia shot first) because a Saudi Arabian dude committed a criminal act. Iraq-we shot first (in ‘91 after GHW told them to go ahead and invade Kuwat, and again, “w” shot first, after we hadn’t really STOPPED bombing since ’91) Will we shoot first on Iran??
BTW, I was in ’nam when the ’67 war started, when ISRAEL attacked all its neighbors, and Israel, with our backing, shot first.
The idiot general who ran the F-22 program said it: “Of course they’re expensive. But if we didn’t intent to USE them, we wouldn’t BUY them.” THAT is the “shoot first” mentality of the Pentagon, and the revolving door folks in the military-indstrial complex.
When they ask for ever increasing “defense” budgets, it’s time to shoot first, and shoot them down. Rational cuts in “defense” spending, are long past merely, “called for”.
From recession woes to social networking, Matt Bors’ cartoons dissect and satirize the ways of the world to make readers think and laugh about the real issues affecting them.

The “War on an Emotion” is pointless. Can we find a target and go after it? Oh, we did. Osama bin Laden. Are we done now?

EDUCATION! Good God, you want these people to think? How could we possibly get them to blindly follow orders if they do that??

We spend as much on the military as next 11 industrialized countries combined.

And you wonder why George Carlin affirmed that “Military Intelligence” was one of the leading Oxymorons in the entire English language!

It will be a WONDERFUL day when Education has ALL the funding it needs, and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy another Bomber!

Which they will use to bomb bake sales.

No, what 9/11 taught us is that our immense military-intelligence-industrial complex is powerless to protect us from events like 9/11.
