Optimally, I favor demonopolizing the DoD and selling it off to the
insurance industry, along with FEMA, the FAA, and the DOT, while
devolving all Reserve and National Guard units to their respective
state governments, who can all decide what they want to do with their
own toys. That will happen right after we sell off the national forests
and parks, kick everyone off welfare, privatize social security,
medicaid, and medicare, spin off NASA into a corporation and schedule
an IPO ten years hence, along with a lot of other fun stuff. 

If I can't have my way, we'll have to muddle along and stick to Plan B.
Don't like it? Too friggin bad, YOU are one of those who refuse to get
politically involved, remember?

Military deterrence is everything in the world, and the fact that you
don't get it illustrates why your arguments carry no water.

So said by marxist lying liars for several generations, yet its always
the marxists who wind up putting tens of millions up against the wall,
isn't it?
