Patriotism and History

[James Baird]

I suppose if you count the entire sales of every
company that does defense work, or supplies companies
that do defense work, you could get some pretty
ludicrious numbers.  Wouldn't mean a thing, but would
look pretty impressive...

This is like that posting earlier today (I forget by
who) that said the military uses 1/3 of the oil.  I
mean, come on: anyone with an ounce of common sense is
gonna see through it right away, and stop listening. 
The military in this country, large as it is in
absolute terms, pretty much gets lost in the noise of
a $10 trillion economy...
