Yet another big negatory on Obama – expanding the military

He wants to increase the size of the military. That in turn begs the obvious question of …

WHY?

His speech says it’s part of expanding national service opportunities.

Squeeze me, Herr Obama, but the armed forces aren’t AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps, and the brass hats will be sure to let you know that.

Our military is ultimately created to be a fighting and killing machine, and we don’t need any more people than we have now doing that as “national service.”
