just a little frustrated at my gov.

10-16-2009, 09:45 PM

today was a hard day. i work for civil service at a naval aviation repair center. i work as a jet engine mechanic for the f414 plat form. it is what powers ef-18's. or f-18's. the gov. has cut the military roughly around 30%. this cut was retro active. when the president took office. i worry about the pilots that fly the planes and the people on the ground that they provide air support for. my question for you to ponder is this: how do we sleep at night knowing that our troops are not getting what they need to do their job? you see they can't do the job correctly when they only get 70%.

i know that i should not talk about the gov. but this is not about politics is about how i feel for my military.

You accusations against the members of CA is far, far across the line, little ashhole. Your implication that you are one of the few who cares or contributes is repugnant and insipid.

Close your account, go away, and if you ever grow up, try it all again.

OK, I'll bite.
First, doubt it won't end up political if starts with being upset at a Governor.
Next and more important, what does the Governor of Florida (Charlie Crist) have to do with the US military expenditure?
I'll view this as a new learning experience for me.

Gov = Government

And I agree. When I was a park ranger they wanted us to "police" the park with nothing but cell phones. Can't do our jobs without the tools to keep us safe to finish them.

oh man! i'm glad to be looking at computer screen. some you all seem a little mad. i never said that C.A. members don't care about the military. you guys want to express your thoughts. i express my thoughts through asking questions. there is no accusing going on here.

What kind of weed you smoking down there, son?

For the 2009 fiscal year, the base budget of the Department of Defense rose to $518.3 billion. Adding emergency discretionary spending, supplemental spending, and stimulus spending brings the sum to $651.2 billion.[1][2] Defense-related expenditures outside of the Department of Defense constitute between $274 billion and $493 billion in additional spending, bringing the total for defense spending to between $925 billion and $1.14 trillion in 2009.[3]from wiki
