There is an easy way to cut the defense expenditures. Firs, let us get back to compulasory draft of every American, male or female, without any deferment or exception, except severe medical condition approved by government military doctors. This will bring the cost down two ways:
(1) the draftees will be paid minimum since they will be required to serve.
(2) There will be fewer military adventures such as war in Iraq. As I remember, the opposition to Vietnam war intensified not because of the TV reports on Vietnam but because Johnson decided to limit deferments for college students which led to protests on all campuses.
In addition, we will not have Rand Paul's spouting libertarian view that smart people should not fight where their lives would be in danger (as their chief preacher Ayn Rand suggested. Randy and the other fools on Wall Street else who have been pocketing bug bonus checks and resisting to pay their share in taxes with support from some equally selfish economists will be required to fight in other countries. No National guard loophole used by George Bush, pregnant wife loophole by Chaney or graduate student loophole by Clinton. This will bring all foreign adventures to a grinding halt. I do not expect Rush Limbaugh clamoring for fighting "his" enemies if he had to fight himself not using second amendment solution but under strict military discipline. So bring back the compulsory draft. No deferment.
Facebook is quite attractive to people who hardly ever or no longer communicate through letter writing. Sometimes people are confined to their homes or are not able to go out without someone helping them. Facebook is a great way for them to keep in touch with loved ones, which in turn keeps them involved in the lives of their family members. Take for example my grandmother. At age 76, she will be 99 on August 11, 2010, just registered on Facebook in order to communicate with all her relatives, especially grandchildren and great-grandchildren, located all over the United States. I do not know how old the oldest registered participant on Facebook is, according to their records, but I would guess that my grandmother would be right up there. What do you think about this?
