Funding the military at 10 times the appropriate amount has to stop. We could have payed off the national debt with the military's Budget the last 20 years.

funnything is military members get low-cost subsidized housing loans and Healthinsurance, that is low cost. they know they can fund it, but wont because they lose thier political wedge issues used to sow division.
