The rest of the world complains no matter what we do. Even our own country complains. If we turn inward a little, there's concerns about China and Russia, which are much more happy to screw over their own citizens for military might than we are. If we put money into the military, we screw over our people. Goddamn tribal fools. I hate politicians and ideologues. They squabble over territory as if it's a game of Risk without remembering most of the time that their game pieces are people. The medieval and classical periods may have been a giant pack of shit for the most part, but whatever happened to putting your head of state in fatigues to fight the war him- or herself? And trial-by-combat is fucking medieval. Yet war - which is essentially trial-by-combat - still exists.
