How much money is worth 300 million peoples safety?? If you calculate that it comes out to less than a set of kart tires for a govt. agency to ensure your safety along with everyone elses in the nation to the best of their ability….. How well do you sleep??? There is your answer…
To be honest….I’d sleep a hell of a lot better if 150,000 troops were protecting us HERE and not 10,000 miles away. And to that argument of “fight them there, not here”. What the hell is stopping them from intergrating into our society HERE?
Did you see what just happened in New York? They can bomb us on buses, trains, subways, ANYWHERE!
And anyone things we’re actually SAFE?
What about that single crazy individual that almost got to our Gov. Bill Ritter and killed him last summer? What if he had a bomb strapped to him…..and a couple of buddies with Mack-10’s and full auto AK-47’s?
Safety is an illusion…..
