There is a direct benefit from military expenditure. It's
called freedom.


Which you don't get in the US, which has the biggest military budget in
the world.


You say the US has no freedom? then why do you remain here? Get going and
quit bitching about immigration.

WHOOPS! Massive, Clintoneque ****up on my part. I managed to snip out
exactly the phrase I was actaully responding to:


Paul Blay: "Yeah, but the _other_ direct 'benefit' from military
expenditure is
oppression."

Please mentally re-insert that, and replay. Kinda changes the whole
meaning...

I did think it seemed disturbingly pinko liberal for you...


Indeed. Now, if only we could determine that the entire Clinton
administration was actually due to ****-poor proofreading... "Uh-oh. I
told Janet Reno so send the Branch Davidians our *thanks,* not
*tanks*..."
