I respect and appreciate your views, and I've personally seen some wasteful and generally corrupt things happening in the name of defense, but there are still many ways that the department of defense protects freedom. Countries like Estonia on Russia's border and South Korea benefit from the security that the U.S. gives them compared to the security of their more aggressive neighbors.

I hate the ways parts of our defense industry work, but these assholes are still necessary while there are other states more aggressive than them.
