An editorial by Phil Oslund
We, as a country, need to roll-back the massive military budget and invest instead in our civilization. We need to get out of foreign theaters and concentrate on securing our homeland. The borders and ports are pitifully under-secured. Education budgets are shrinking at astounding rates. Yet we spend billions overseas occupying foreign lands under false pretences.
Don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with the troops. We should all do everything we can to support the brave men and women who serve in the armed forces of this and other countries. That includes providing them with ethical and honorable leadership. Both my father and brother served twenty-plus years each in this nation's military. I have nothing but the highest regards for those who serve.
