A __LARGE__ part? Take that moralistic assumption aside for a moment and consider exactly where that 15 billion a month is going why don't you?
Do you think they dig a hole in Baghdad and throw that cash in there? Do you think they pay the soldiers, workers and contractors with
HOPE? Do you think the millions of American military families, construction workers, sailors and pilots are all maintained with
CHANGE?
Your hated "military-industrial complex" includes companies and communities as broad as the textile companies that make the camo clothing, to the small businesses that weave the kevlar, all the way to the teamsters and laborers that deliver, distribute and maintain the military's capabilities. It employs, feeds, clothes, and pays for the college tuitions of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of American families.
And yet, just as you can't sustain an argument against the war based on military criteria (check) or political criteria (check), now you think you can make an argument against the war based on ECONOMIC criteria? The ONLY criteria that was never open to argument to begin with?
