I'd never consider myself a socialist, but I am all for hacking away at the military budget to raise the standard of living. It'd ease foreign relations considerably, like the drunk uncle who's loads of fun provided he only visits every few years. I mean, the USA armed forces constitute the most expensive and expansive venture in world history, but nobody wants to fess up. I agree on today's socialists. ACO's heart may be in the right place, but she's either too young or too starstruck to understand what leading by example means. Personal sacrifice is the least popular thing in the western world.
