I was just looking at the wiki page on the military budget and some **** had added a quote by that PNAC toad Robert Kagan in there, under why it would be bad to decrease the military budget at this time.

Once More: “As bad as it sounds, ultimately we do have to sometimes accept a wage that’s less than we had at our previous job in order to get back to work and allow the economy to get started again… I think the issue is bigger than unemployment benefits.

I don’t think anybody’s going to be missing a hill or two here and there.”
Not in the lest funny, but I laughed until I cried anyway:
