I would say they got a 100% subsidy, Steve, when over $90 million was spent on a $49 million return.

I didn’t like KP, but I sure wouldn’t have appreciated a lot of unknown people “inside the wire” when I participated in my “quagmire”. That’s no way to fight a war.

We had a family friend who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He and my Dad were stationed together all over the world and he retired after 30. The only time he actually held a rifle and had to use it was at the Bulge, because he was cook for those entire 30 years. Military support people aren’t just clerks and cooks, they can also be riflemen if needed.

If you look at what they do objectively, Scorpio, the conclusion does present itself.

So Republicans are insane by the strict definition — trying the same thing over and over while hoping for different results.

The army has no more KP, and hardly any logistics. Instead they have Halliburton and KBR. It’s a bad tradeoff.

First thing you know, the tax farmers will be wanting farm subsidies…

And they do, all over the country, like the failed “Colorado taxpayers’ bill of rights” that they are trying to push onto the state of Florida. Colorado was forced to suspend it before they went into bankruptcy.

The stupid just burns.

if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
