I feel like Americans have truly been convinced to argue against their own best interest on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i agree thats probably true but i know there are some old and outdated equipment and things that could be improved upon. I'm hoping at some point they get around to some restructuring and waste cutting in that arena as well. I'm probably biased as my nephew is deployed in an undisclosed location at the moment and I want him to be as safe as we can make him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Long actually donated his entire salary this year. . That doesn’t say “upstanding member of society” to me, that says “these men are paid to own much if he doesn’t need an entire year’s wages in order to live”. Also, he’ll be claiming all that back at tax time as a donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to make anywhere near what he would have by doing that. There aren't many people that can say they have done more than Chris Long for society, so I really don't understand your comment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
