Do the US need it?!
Of course not...
Do people get rich of it?!
Of course...
Do they care it's about killing people?!

ya know, it might be worth mentioning, that people like me are able to make a decent living because things like that need to be built....
military contracts are the bread and butter of a lot of blue collar workers in this country...
so when you think about that 6billion, its not just being thrown into the void, its going to an american company, who will pay american workers to make a product...
the american company will pay taxes on that 6 billion, and the workers will pay taxes on whatever they get paid, so its not like Bush just set fire to 6 billion dollars here..
I may be going to work for the Watervliet Arsenal Tig welding armor plating onto Humvees....
