While you may disagree with how MUCH is spent, noone would question that national security is a worthwhile expendature.



Then shouldn't they be willing to fund it voluntarily, rather than at the point of a gun?

Of course they should. However, it's rather difficult to have a fund-raiser for the military. A tele-thon might not work. Also, the military does have to have secrets, so they couldn't well have a mail-in donation drive or a bake sale for their new top-secret weaponry.

If it's as necessary as you say, then it should be at least as easy as it is for charities to do the same.

All the donations to the 700 club or any CBN should go to military funds......

What's so hard to understand? If military is so necessary, then you shouldn't have a problem convincing people to give money to it voluntarily.

Hey, our military mainly serves big business anyway. Let them fork over the money directly rather than have us all pay for it.

And we don't.  You can give money voluntarily, or you can leave :smile:

People paying money for the military are doing so voluntarily.  Defense of soverignity, among other things, are critical for the existance of a country.  And, of course, you can't "opt out" of being protected by the military.  If one dirtbag America-hater doesn't want to pay for military protection, we can't very well single him, or them, out and let our enemies know that they aren't protected.
