Why is our military spending more than all the other countries
combined
Is it any wonder they
all view us as reckless, ignorant, evangelical cowboys
Why does every single
politician fear being labeled as soft on defense
Where is the
conservatives outcry over this runaway criminal arms gravytrain
Why do we need a
multi-billion dollar space-based missile defense system...
When the roads,
bridges, plumbing and schools are falling apart in our town
How come we need more
squadrons of $80,000,000 fighter jets...
If there are not
enough helicopters here at home during natural disasters
Why must we be
prepared to engage two conventional enemies at once...
Given the fact that
there is not even one conventional enemy to fight
How is it we spend a
trillion$ just to strengthen terrorists in oil-rich states...
But we let our own
children grow up ignorant, obese, amoral and uninsured
What kind of sense
does it make to spend 500 times more on arms than energy research...
since the military
machine runs on fuel imported from potential enemies
What preposterous
logic makes defense spending a non-discretionary item
Where is that pure
child who stands up and says the military king is naked
How do we manage to
spend half a trillion per year with annual increases...
But still need those
extra hundred someodd billion to kill a so-called few dead-enders
Why must we cut social
spending to pay off unfunded and unfair tax cuts...
Where is that single
political voice asking instead to cut out some of that huge military
tumor
Where did all that
money go if the Humvees have no armor
Why do our combat
soldiers wind up buying their own survival equipment
Who made unquestioned
arms spending the most basic form of patriotism
Is it really Jesus who
whispers that we need to dole out more military contracts
Where is there a
reasoned debate over the sanity of this criminal largesse
Why is the
military-industrial complex the most powerful force in our land
How is it that only
wackos and cowards call for examining defense spending
How can arms money
always be spent so wisely if social programs are always so wasteful
What sense does it
make for us to pay to be the world’s policeman...
While other countries
invest money in their economies and education
With all that money
why must our war wounded fight for their health care
With all of our
military hightech, why are we at the mercy of simple homemade bombs
What would Ben
Franklin say about our bloated defense procurements
Why are Fiscally
Conservative hawks so free-spending with unaudited cost-plus military
contracts
Who infused
politicians with the mortal fear of questioning any military outlay
Does our wrathful God
really demand this bloated annual tithe of blood money
Could there possibly
be just a little greed and gain behind this holy patriotism
Isn’t it really an
insider’s game and a well-oiled con played with a wink and a nod
Why is this
metastasizing catastrophic malignancy so universally accepted
How insecure would we
really be if we simply cut our defense spending in half
How come we spend
billions yet bogeymen in sandals living in caves still taunt us
Why do we need bunker
busters if we cannot defend ourselves against crude IEDs
Why not train soldiers
in our revered christian practices along with death and destruction
How about spending a
thousandth of the killing budget on research to end war
How long before you
outsource military technology and entire infantry platoons
How can history judge
this feverish and unquestioned build up in a kindly fashion
Are we driven by
extreme paranoia or is it just a sick attempt to control the world
Which way does our
moral compass actually point if weapons are our largest exports
How are uncontrolled
defense outlays really so unlike failed liberal social policies
Why is it unpatriotic
and cowardly to question the ever-increasing spending
Why aren’t new
missiles debated on costs and benefits just like pollution rules
Why does the military
pay hyper-inflated prices to a greedy mafia of corporate oligarchs
How do you feel as you
explain your military policies to groups of children
Are these really
matters of national security or simply criminal concealment
Who will design your
next generation of killing and destroying apparatus...
Since you have cut
education funds to pay for bullets, hardware and bodies
Does our personal
relationship with Christ really demand so much blood sacrifice...
Or has Satan deceived
us into sinful deficit spending on death and destruction
