Moronic Military Hawks

This week's US Conference of Mayors (link here), and their plea to reduce military spending, made me look up this Economist posting earlier this month (link here).  It graphically illustrates how ridiculous, disproportionate, and unreasonable right wing military hawks are in the vocal minority known as the Tea Bagger Party, and the "main stream" right wing Republicans as well. 

Instead of just spending more and more money building targets and infrastructure in foreign lands that we'll just wind up blowing up eventually, how about making your children go to service in Iraq & Afghanistan?  No, Tom Tomorrow illustrates how that never works (link here).
