Your use of the word defense is wildly incorrect. There's a reason that the troops overwhelmingly support Paul (he gets more donations from the military than everyone else put together). The GOP loves to "support the troops", but they like to ignore the troops and treat them like disposable pawns to do their bidding which has almost nothing to do with our "defense". Iraq has nuclear weapons and we have to go in, right?!?! They posed 0 threat to the USofA. We went over there to protect "our" oil, and then the oil production in Iraq gets cut in half because people bomb the pipelines. Makes sense, right?

Keep digging, and you'll come around.
