A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
don't compete; coexist

what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    there are some who would argue that military spending and NOT social benefits spending like education is the only way to remain the dominant nation in the world, hence more money for military and less for education. also, an ignorant population is the only way some of these people can stay in power, so they encourage the ignorance by not funding education...
