If Socialism can't work, and true Americans hate Socialism,?
then why does our military have ALL of the hallmarks of a Socialist society. For the military, every need is met by the government. Health care, housing, food, even clothing. I understand that there are some choices that go with the program, but housing is provided in one way or another for each and every person in uniform. As are all of their essentials. The decision on where to deploy is rarely if ever left up to the individual. Even your MOS is chosen for you according to your ability but also according to that branch of services need at the moment. So if it has worked for the military for all of these years, why not the rest of us?

2 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs Obama making you nervous?
The smear machine is gearing up to full speed against Obama.
Is it the racist right wing doing the dirty work? Is it a terrified Clinton campaign? Are the lies having the desired effect? Or are people seeing through the "politics as usual" crap.

Could Thomas Paine arguments in the first part about the Origin and Design of Government apply to todays American government just as well? If we were to substitute the word President for King and Congress for Parliament the result is startling.
