Working Towards a Budget Friendly Military
March 2, 2012
There is no shortage of military supporters, and articles that applaud these men and women for their sacrifices to protect the United States and its interest. However, according to the WAND Action Center article “WAND and the Military Budget – What We Are Up Against” the United States military desperately needs a budget overhaul. “There is only one way to get the changes WAND believes are necessary: an informed citizenry. U.S. citizens are deeply disturbed about our economic problems, rising inequalities, and the perception that our country is falling behind, yet haven’t made the link between that and the devastating costs of our military.”
WAND believes that being a major military power and protecting other nations is of little importance if we cannot handle our own problems at home. This is a somewhat unusual yet interesting view of the military and politics and the battle lines that some groups have drawn. It seems that some believe even the US Military needs an allowance.
Interesting approach to marketing taxonomies.
