Yup. Just go ahead and “transform the 7th fleet”... Go and make that demand of the 7th Fleet Commander and the Pacific Fleet Commander. I’ll give you the PACFLT Commander’s email and work phone. Hell, even his cell phone...   :rofl:

:facepalm:

From someone who knows nothing about military budgeting or appropriations. Wants installations that he “knows” are there shut down, without even knowing what function they serve. Whose irrational fear of military capability in Hawaii and Pacific and that they need to be cut, without knowing what they are.

Yes; I am NOT an expert with the obviously over bloated and over complicated military budgeting.

What I do know is that many Americans are currently SUFFERING AND DYING with that number to get even worse.

Under those conditions, I challenge anyone to LOOK INTO THE FACES of those families whose loved ones already are or are about to physically or economically suffer and TELL THEM that maintaining US bases and navies in the Asian-Pacific region to police the World has first priority over Americans' lives back home.

lack of any arguments only emotional response. Look at victims families, people suffering and dying. UNDERLINE and BOLD..etc if anyone not Hawaiian mentions anything Hawaiian and you throw down the race card

You said it yourself...you don't know anything about govt spending...so why keep digging that hole? trying to go to Wuhan?

We got it already.
You hate the United States. You hate the U.S. military and anything associated with it. The vinyl is worn out. You need new tech...stream it. SoundCloud or something...

Yup. Wants to make decisions based on emotion as opposed to rational and logical thought/planning.

No mention of execs of the healthcare industry nor administrators of the hospitals and medical centers.

But I’ll stop. Don’t want to cause further distress...

"Yup. Wants to make decisions based on emotion as opposed to rational and logical thought/planning."

That's the best rebuttal you can make?

Why not share your views on how the current crisis Americans are facing will get better by not scaling back military spending?  That would be more productive and I would love to hear it.

Knowing America is spending too much on the military and not enough domestically is clearly visible right now.  No one denies how huge the military budget is compared to other types of domestic items.  I fail to see the emotion on my basic premise.

Could it be your distaste of my position be an emotional response of your own?



"No mention of execs of the healthcare industry nor administrators of the hospitals and medical centers."

What about those people you mentioned above?
