    So....you agree with me and just want to frame it like you're right and I'm wrong. Lol.

    So you're saying we face the same threat today from smuggled nuclear warheads, with state of the art detection equipment and methods, as we did 30 years ago?
    You seem to have a problem with your short term memory. Go re-read your own statements and questions, which I answered for you.
    I am not agreeing with you. I am showing you that there still is a threat, which you questioned in your previous statements.
    We have state of the art detection methods for smuggled drugs, illegal aliens, etc, yet still are unable to stop the unending tide of them. Do you believe that it is impossible to smuggle weapon components into the US, including weapons grade plutonium and uranium? Are you so disengaged that you believe that the US hasn't already prepared to do the same in Russia, and other countries as well?

    Back on the original topic - since you appear to think that our military doesn't really contribute to the citizens in our current times, what have you personally done to protect any citizens of the country? Have you ever been under fire from a foreign enemy? Have you ever put yourself in harms way? Have you every even trained to prepare for such a possibility? Our servicemen have trained, prepared, and performed - and that is everyone that enters the military. What have you done to be in a position to diminsh their service to protecting YOUR family?

    You seem to be a little slow. Let me help you and anyone else who failed their 9th grade english courses...

    These questions are called Socratic questions. Similar to the kind of questioning methods they do on essay questions in school. They are not meant imply anything, they are simply questions to garner information from the reader. I know exactly what we've accomplished, I know exactly what threats we face and have faced in the past 30 years.

    Never said this either, but ok, I'll let you draw your own conclusions...
    what have you personally done to protect any citizens of the country? Have you ever been under fire from a foreign enemy? Have you ever put yourself in harms way?

    ::Sigh:: What does any of that have to do with anything? I would imagine anyone who isnt or hasnt been in the military or police force would probably not have an answer for that nonsense anyway. I see what you're trying to do, and youre failing miserably, but nice try.
