    And you never proved to me what the Constitution mandates paying for. Because you can't.

    Congress is also required to pass a budget. They have been a bit remiss in their responsibility. The founders probably didn't anticipate congressional abdication of responsibilities. The definition of General Welfare has been seriously stretched.

    Sure thing. :rolleyes:

    Our rampant military spending might be a bit overboard, but the last time we fought a war on our own turf was over 150 years ago, and it was against ourselves.

    Sure the second amendment has a little something to do with that, but still a hallmark of a pretty fuckin good common defense, I'd say. :beer:

    My response to the op, Take your money and buy yourself a nice hunk of fine silver, or gold. Silver was down in the $14 per oz range not long ago. That was a good time to pick up a few oz. just in case the dollar ever completely collapses.

    While not a state, I am pretty sure Pearl Harbor and Midway were US territories, also known as our own turf.

    Midway not our own soil, Pearl Harbor we didn't do much in the way of fighting.

    Neither involved the boots of invaders touching US soil. Whether or not Yamamoto actually said it, any military leader assigned with invading the MAINLAND :rolleyes: United States would have to recognize that there would be 'an American with a rifle behind every blade of grass'.

    That is until the anti 2A shitheads eventually get their way.

    Here is one for the historians: where were the only WWII fatal attacks that occurred within the United States (non-territories)?

    Wild guess: Japanese internment camps.

    Attack as in from a stated and identified (see: declaration of war) enemy.

    Indeed we killed our own many times over.

    The Japanese balloon bombs or the Germans that came in on Long Island is my guess. I think the Germans killed someone on the beach, home guard maybe?

    Late in the war, out in the Fremont NF east of K-Falls. Unexploded ordinance triggered by group who wondered off from a broken down car. Five dead.
    The Fremont ( now, the Winema-Fremont) is a pretty forest largely devoid of humans. I’d post a recent pic but they are too large.
