Then it is called the Defense Industry" I see the dangers of forgetting the 800 lb surly bear and the Dragon are still there as the Eagle is out hunting snakes in the mountains that eat armies (Afghanistan) and the remnants of Babylon. While we are busy fighting the shadowy enemy and look into the darkness, these two could just cut us from behind. The military (that i sadly cannot serve for medical disquals) need to remain large and as well armed since unlike Gates' view that we will keep fighting the rock throwers and ieds since these two nation states are the one who keep supplying the bombs and we need to call the spades what they are. We are in a war of proxies much like the Spanish civil war was before WWII. We need to recognize it for that and more. WE ARE AMERICA and have no real friends except Britain and its other former colonies like ourselves. BTW what is Russia doing with our Hummers it took from Georgia?

It clears some questions I had about Gates. Like, wondering why the guildmaster couldn't remember the whole "Want peace? Be ready for war" thing. Virgil, thanks for your comment.
