So true! And when I was enlisted, can you believe the USMC used to BURY 30 round magazines after shooting them? Was unreal! We had numerous guys get caught sneaking at night trying to dig them up so they could sell them for $5 a mag. My time in the Marines showed me just how out of control the gubment is with their reckless spending of THE PEOPLE'S money. If I tried to tell you some of the shit I saw, you wouldn't believe me.:eek:
How about building buildings that sat empty? i.e., never used, and never were intended to be used. Brand new buildings! Buying commercial airline tickets that were never used. just thrown away. Flying filet mignon, crab, etc., overseas for big elaborate dinners for the brass. Buying $3,000 each night vision monoculars only to pile them up, never use them, then surplus them out for pennies on the dollar. The list goes on and on...
what the fuck? That's ridiculous, it really is just a fact that spending opm, especially people that the spenders don't even know, just leads to abuse. I support our military and i can see that they need to spend on R&D and they are gonna have surplus stuff but what is the point of buildings that aren't used, is that only blown to justify the budget?
Basically. And the other problem is too much power. These shitheads have to justify their jobs, and they do it by spending OUR $ on shit they'll NEVER use. Very sad!
exactly, talk about hypocrisy. although I should mention most military guys, at least that i've met, are generally not soak the rich, crybaby libs.
Not a bad idea on the surface, in theory. Problem is approximately 83% of armed felons never get and are never going to get their guns in a manner requiring a background/data base check to begin with.
