Quote:Or is there some nuance to your argument I'm missing?The nuance you are missing is you are confusing your opinions with facts. When what I say something counter to your opinion you misconstrude it as a statement against a fact. Then you nitpick individual sentances that aren''t representitive of the whole post or the topic at hand.
You think a "threat" is the only basis for spending. I think at a minimum it should corolate with the GDP or other similar number. This is a difference of our opinions, not me contradicting myself. I don't think either of us are wrong, but I think you are more wrong because you insist GDP has nothing to do with how much should be spent.
