link?
I'm happy to have you pull up links about the military killing children. I'd be careful about not looking at what happens when our military doesn't go into places and protect children--there are a lot more of those links.
i don't think that your arguement stands up considering that the latest polling data from fox news shows that 52% of americans are in favor of planned parenthood funding and only 42% favor defunding
I will talk all I want to, because while I am not out trying to get people the ability to fuck for a dollar, I am the one who has to make that call every day. Every. Day. And while you don't understand it, and your cousin may not understand it, people have to be there making the hard decisions that your government sent us to make and the shitty job your government sent us to do. And to try to keep people like your cousin and your friend alive while doing it. And to be told that while we're doing it, we may not be getting paid because you and Obama stand with PP. For someone to start lashing out because they lost a debate about planned parenthood of things...c'mon, man.
That isn't 2.2 trillion per year. I already knew this... You made a claim he would vote for someone that would spend 2.2 trillion a year on military policing. You've failed.
First and foremost..what you guys do is appreciated by me, my war wasn't a popular one either..we didn't get parades coming home but reading your post here two things stand out ...you say his govt, his president...isn't it our govt? 2nd....are you not getting paid and is PP to blame? This confuses me. We have disagreements about certain issues but that does not mean what you do is not appreciated
Interesting poll...hadn't seen that yet.
I say the collective "your" government because I don't get to advocate for things in uniform, especially not where I'm sent. I didn't mean that you particularly voted for Bush or Obama or Boehner or whoever, but it's the people's vote. And frankly, because 2012 was the only chance I've had since 2000 to vote for President. When deployed people aren't very good about making sure you get absentee ballots.
I didn't say you don't appreciate us, you've talked about your cousins and friends enough that I know you care. But in this particular case, it seems by what you're saying that you don't care that DeSean and I may not getting paid next week for being over here and dealing with some really messed-up stuff so long as PP keeps getting its half-billion. If that's a misrepresentation please let me know, but that has been the crux of what I thought we've been talking about all thread. That (IMO) the President is choosing PP over a running government, and your stance that you stand with him and that it's the R's fault. At least, that's what I've been talking toward.
Wives and kids.
Oh okay... I see why you posted that... Maybe I was a bit over zealous on my statement. But since the ones that want them defunded will be doing the investigation, I would suspect they would freeze their funding until further investigation.
It was a response to my comment that the one you support wants to tax you 2.2 trillion in tax off 3 trillion we spend on free market. That's a "per year" figure off the article you posted.
Cost of wars since 2001 = $1.6T
