Seems to have gotten a bad reaction from many Congressmen and Senators in both parties. Rumsfeld argued that it would save the country 48 billion dollars over the next few decades. If it's money we're concerned about then lets stop fighting this horrible war...
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high

I tend to agree. We could save just as much money by not closing the bases and devastating the local economies, as we could by the cessation of frivalous hostilities. W should not be allowed to use the armed forces as his personal gangsters to enforce his and his daddy's ways.

If this was baseball and I played for their team I would ask for a trade

I don't mean to joke about something this serious. I hope all those families find a way to get by.

You seriously need to change your signature, my dad is a liberal democrat he raised me and I am a conservative republican who is going to join the United States Army.
