How much do we spend out of our budget for military/defense? [View all]

[darkangel218]

60%? 70%?

regardless of the correct amount, we spend a huge chunk on military.

If the Congress approves a military intervention, it would be within the budget which would be spent every year regardless.
I am not suggesting we should go on wars just because we allocate a lot of money to the military. But in this specific situation is paramount that we do something about it.
I saw ( disgusting ) posts suggesting to " let them kill each other off " and couldn't believe it!! are we that heartless??!?
Yes, I know we need help WITHIN our country too, I'm all aware of that. But like I said, the air strikes wont change anything money wise, if that's what you're worried about. That money go to the military regardless.

So, that. We don't have to turn a blind eye to genocide, and make excuses that is too expensive, or that is none of our business. It is our business. And even in the past we have made mistakes, two wrongs don't make a right.

Thank you for standing up for what is right, President Obama.
