It's the new kinder gentler military, you know the one that's less interested in fielding an effective fighting force & more interested in promoting abstract notions such as "diversity" and making sure everybody has an equal chance even if they’re totally unqualified for the job in question. To be honest other than wom...more

The entire budget of the DOD accounts for about 19% of the entire federal budget. As for the notion of spending more money on education, the U.S. already spends more per pupil than any other nation in the world.

As much as it pains me to say it this kind of stuff happens more often than many people might imagine. Back when I was in high school a good buddy of mine through a party at his house and this exact same thing happened to a girl there.
