---------------------------------------------------------- nothing lasts forever so then i fall back to my final practical thinking . I say , oh well , just so it lasts for my and my kids lifetime DLady !!if you want peace , prepare for war . ------------- And here in the USA , at least in red flyover America it is pretty peaceful . I just want an immensely strong USA military so as to keep the Fureign rabble in line through fear and trepidation Robo . [its like carrying a big stick]
How'd the preparing for unending war work out for the Roman Empire?
The comparison is apt. Rome was ultimately bankrupted by the cost of maintaining the armies needed to conquer and hold most of the Mediterranean and Europe.
