Heck, that link (and what it led to) isn't THAT bad, really.
I watched the whole thing.
No, I'm not going to join them.
But, some of the points made were very much on target.
Others didn't appeal to me.
For one, I don't think it's the responsibility of the United States to try to feed the world,
particularly when we have hungry and homeless people in our OWN country that need to
be handled first. Charity begins at home!
The points made concerning the defense budgets of the US and other nations isn't really valid as the Russians and the Chinese don't work on the same economic scale as our defense budgets. A plane we make for 50 million dollars has a competitive equivalent made by the Russians or Chinese for a fraction of that. So a billion dollars in American planes is fewer planes than a billion dollars worth of Chinese planes.
Anyone who thinks we have no remaining enemies of note, or any potential ones, is an utter fool. The world is probably more unstable now than it has been since WWII, and the combined abilities of the countries we DO count as potential enemies is considerable....and anyone who doesn't think that our current military is overextended, undermanned, and underequipped is living on the planet of the stupid.
