America's Navy - A Global Force for Good.
Edited on Tue Mar-22-11 02:28 PM by peace13
I have been seeing these commercials during the basketball tournament and I have to tell you, the term global force, right out there in front for all to see is a little startling. It seems that we are now financing global 'security' and I have to say that I don't think that my pocketbook can afford that. I am truly surprised that people will sit and watch this without as much as a bristle. Don't get me wrong, I honor the men and women who serve in our armed forces. I am however, suspect of the mission that they have been hired for. If we are truly as broke as the Congress critters say that we are, then we need to adjust our mission to something less than the planet and use our funds to clothe and feed our homeless on the street. We need to make health care available to all Americans.

We have made the transition to one world order with corporations controlling the destiny of all of us. I am surprised to see the words on the big screen and the look on the faces in the crowd accepting that this is the way things will be....forever!

1. There's something incongruous about "force" and "good".
A good force? Forcing the world to be good? :shrug:
