OK You got me there, I'm backing out of this conversation. Think you just refered to me in a very derogatory manner, as an arbiter. I don't know what a ar is but I do know I've never bitten one. I do remember my X wife telling me to bite her arse all the time but I wasn't into oral sex and gladly passed.

Not delusional at all, my point to him was that his remark was unnecessary .

Perhaps you mean cut spending so much on wars we have no chance of winning. Or, how about reducing wasteful appropriations for pork spending projects promoted by Congressmen to enhance their presence at home.

With the world full of serious threats to America from abroad, there are some military areas which simply cannot be cut. The threats from Iran and North Korea are real and cannot be put aside until after they have the bomb.By then, we and our Allies may be dust. We also cannot leave our men in uniform flapping in the wind abroad while funding is cut for their support.

I was in the Army in 1949 and 1950. Our training ammo and equipment was mostly left over from WW2. President Truman and Congress reduced military appropriations to the extent that there was not enough money for new equipment and ammunition to keep up with where the world was headed. When North Korea attacked in June, 1950, we sent out woefully undertrained and undersupplied troops to stop them. If we had been really prepared, I don't believe the North Koreans would have dared to attack. We should also have been spending on better intelligence so that we would have known serious trouble was brewing in Korea. We didn't have a clue!
