How about taking some of that tax cut and giving it to our enlisted troops?.


The best way to solve this problem, is to make all military pay exempt
from taxes. It makes no sense to tax taxes.

Agreed. How about that plus pay raises?. After all what is a soldiers life
worth? In Flanders field the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row.


Sure, why not! After all, we're only 6 trillion in debt.

I would hold 1000 nukes (WMD), and de-commission the rest, and convert
the money into combat pay.

What money? I suspect you'd find that it actually costs money to
decommission the weapons, so the initial result of is actually an increased
cost to reduce the number of weapons.

As it is, the nuke inventory may decline to around 1700-2200 weapons under
the Moscow Treaty. That's the number allowed to be active. More may be kept
inactive, which may well be cheaper than actually dismantling them in the
near term.
