It's not so much about protecting the nation as feeding the big machine. Aren't many truly self defense wars like WWII anymore. And Bernie never said that he would want all fighter jets banned. I don't post much on DU now because even the positive threads get smears. And my support of Bernie isn't going to be influenced.

Will support Hillary against the Repuke - we absolutely can't afford a Repuke President. Trump is a fascist!
