    Leaving it all up to the Military-Industrial Complex to save your bacon? Things never change.

    @rpmurrayI wish people would remember Washington’s advice about avoiding foreign entanglements.

    Situational Ethic applied there. Washing was quite happy for the help of Lafayette, not to mention the French Fleet that let him win the War!

    The Harris libido shown here must have faded over generations. Even during his brief time as a multi-millionaire, Zonker never had women around.

    and thus Nate learns the difference between “Pursuit” of Happiness and actually achieving it.

    Benjamin Franklin has invented a new butter churn that fits under the bed. Why, it practically churns itself!

    Helping the US contributed to bankrupting the French economy (thanks to Ben Franklin’s amazing work at prying money from them, and Beaumarchais’ creative financing), thereby leading to the French Revolution. Unhappily for them, they didn’t already have an established foundation in place for a democracy.

    rpmurray—yep, Ike himself warned of the Military-Industrial Complex as he left office way back in the dark ages. [50"s]

    @Travis BickelYour arrogance is only matched by your ignorance. Countries like Britain, France, and Germany had massive industrial military complexes. Large enough to colonize most of the known world. After all, it was Brittania that ruled the seas.Where did it get them? Two world wars. The French lost one-quarter of their military aged men to death or injury in World War I. There was a term in France — "war widow. These were not women who lost their husbands in the First World War; these were women who never married because of the scarcity of men in their generation. The reason the French lost so quickly in WW II is because of the shortage of military age and the memory of 4 years of trench warfare were still fresh in the French mind.The Germans took pride in their military complex, where did it get them? Two lost wars, lost of most of their territory, and partition for 45 years.

    Certainly not for women — we are not there yet.
