There
is a section of the population who are worried about how much the US spends on
its military. They fear that after
spending so much time and national treasure to build super carriers and super
stealth bombers and everything else that, well, we’ll have to use them at some
point. And this war may not be in the
national interest as much as it’s an excuse to justify spending so much money
on these weapons. These people worry that
instead of wars about our national ideals on freedom and liberty they will be
about the military-industrial complex showing off their latest products so they
can make a profit.
Yet
some of these same people probably look at anti-government militias stockpiling
guns as … patriotic. Shouldn’t there be
some worry that these groups will perhaps one day get bored and manufacture
some excuse – not involving government tyranny – to use their weapons?
