if you truly think this then beachbum is right, you're delusional

--- Quote from: PhantOS on February 28, 2017, 04:18:47 PM ---Military planning is more than just 'buy this tank and use it'

there's a lot of complexity and investments that go into international conflicts and other stuff, but for the most part it's the government making a deal with NRA and other military industrial companies to contract thousands of vehicles, most of which aren't going to be used. I think that our current military could function at the same capacity and effectiveness at 150 billion a year

i know, a good example of stuffty fund allocation would be the MHS program. the army has spent millions on tests and research and flip-flopping on whether or not they wanted to replace the m9, a handgun-- keep in mind sidearms rarely end up being used in combat in the first place. put simply, after years they decided "we'll keep it" then soon after outta nowhere change their mind and say they plan to buy hundreds of thousands of sig p320s. don't even get me started on the trainwreck do-all f-35 program

man you really like to point out obvious stuff and act like it was some kind of zinger. private universities are the most prominent form of higher education, and public universities are almost universally underfunded / bad.
--- Quote from: beachbum111111 on February 28, 2017, 04:29:17 PM ---Sorry but people don't like getting their money stolen from them to pay for handicaps like you to get a degree that was a complete waste of time and money.
STEM was never a big field. You would be better off not going to uni at all in that case and saving yourself the money you wasted.

--- End quote ---
the forget do you qualify as a worthwhile degree then? Science, Engineering, Technology, and Math are apparently all out of the equation by your standards, despite the fact that we wouldnt be having this conversation had it not existed.

Bisjac:
phant is already full of stuff from the OP picture.
the reason this is "bad" and the liberal media is hating on it, is because he also greatly cut the funds to other countries.
libs hate that and want us to feed/bribe the world.

im sure "be born wealthy or join the military" is a worrying concept altogether. the military does offer good jobs, but being forced to choose an occupation because of your family's income is not right.

the companies that manufacture the firearms and vehicles required for warfare end up making a killing in this process. it's a lot of closed doors lobbying and other bullstuff that results in a million handguns being bought and then thrown out for fun. taxpayers pay for the military, the military pays for the gun companies, the gun companies pay for the politician lobbying, the politicians pay for nothing because they're politicians.
