the military is getting stronger every day, with the exception of its leadership, and they have whole countries that they control outside of the U.S. to do training in. i dont understand how this certain types of training will help them in their fight against people that are launching 20 year old rockets from mule carts.

the best way to get the best for our troops is to make sure that someone who went AWOL for a year and a half isint in charge of the troops anymore.

the environment on the other hand is getting weaker and weaker everyday thanks in part to the same leadership or lack there of. our economy is directly linked to how healthy our environment is. if our environment gets worse it will mean a less healthy economy and less taxes for the military as a whole. a classic example that is easy to understand after this latest round of floods is the fact that a wetland is 50 times more economically viable undeveloped... than developed. Bad environmental policy will take exponentially more dollars out of our economy than the "jobs vs the environ" theorists think they are saving thru short term destructive practices. conservative business practices can often be very healthy but conservative environmental practices are usually a total lie when you research it and are almost allways extreemely economically damaging as well as environmentally damaging.

just think of the trillions that we would have saved by using the technology that we had 50 years ago to power cars without oil .

in short if they can overide our environmental policies it will do absolutely nothing to make us more safe. the columbia is allready been turned into the most radioactive river in the entire world!!! how did that make us any safer
