Why do conservatives think the military is more imporant than education?

[Mott the Hoople]

Education is more important than national defense. What’s the point of a strong national defense if there’s nothing worth defending?

You're right, Ohioan. We should let Kim Jong Un feed the union teachers to starving dogs.

So you're saying that guns are more important than education? That it's better to be stupid and armed than to be educated and live well?

Are you drunk, Ohioan?

I say why can't we have both? That said, I do agree there could be some whittling down in military spending. But I am against any Federal control over education.

What were you saying Mott? Oh, you were talking about something you don't know much about. Not surprised.

Ohio is not worth defending, but who wants it?

I agree. We need to get education out of govt union control. It's getting worse every year.

 

[Beefy]

And we need to get the military out from under corporate control. Its getting worse every year.

Not to mention that we need educated people to operate modern weapons systems. WHo wants to let a bunch of dumb asses operate a nuclear submarine?

Education should be controlled at the local level. I have no problem with the Federal Government establishing minimum guidelines and standards but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about investing in education. Particularly in the STEM fields, Industrial Trades and Applied/Performing Arts.

Conquered by no one as long as we maintain a strong military...otherwise, by any one that has a stronger one.
