What's to be offended by? The amount we spend on our military is disgusting. It's not that we don't need one, it's just that we spend TOO MUCH on it. There's so much money, people are PLAYING with it--the military has heaps of equipment it does not and never will need. What it does need, it spends more than necessary on. It's bloated, wasteful, and it's a complete disgrace that it receives more money than education. Protecting the country is important--but it's equally as important as educating the country, not MORE so.
You can be in the military and still disagree with the budgeting choices. This country's priorities are SEVERELY broken.
The part that gets me is that virtually any person you ask will tell you they want more money to be put toward education. So why isn't it happening?
