The uniformed bloodsuckers who run the show don't miss any chance to get MORE. If money determined victory at war, we should have won everything since WWII.

Check out the dreadful facts:

I could go for 25% over a decade. I could not go along with 60% cut until some geopolitical issues become better resolved. We need immediate incremental cuts.

The U.S. military consumes about 295,000 barrels of petroleum products per day. That is equivalent to the total daily oil use of the country of Sweden.

The U.S. government, as a whole, consumes not quite 2% of all the liquid fuel that the entire U.S. economy uses in a given year. That translates into about 440,000 barrels of oil per day, or slightly more than the entire output of the oil field at Prudhoe Bay, when the pipelines are not shut down due to corrosion. Multiply by 365 days per year, and the U.S. government burns up about 160 million barrels of oil per year, at a cost of something over $10 billion at recent price levels.

Of the total U.S. government liquid fuel use, about 97% of that is consumed by the Department of Defense, making that agency the world’s single largest fuel-burning entity. But even within the U.S. DOD, the respective services are themselves gargantuan users of liquid fuel. According to data supplied by the Defense Energy Support Center, the interservice breakdown for fuel use is as follows:

Department of the Air Force: 53%
Department of the Navy (including Marine Corps): 32%
Department of the Army: 12%

How do you even have the nerve to attribute anything to Hitler? You are the epitome of the dead brained Nazis that gave power to Hitler. By this time, you should have learned a whole lot more about life...what does it say that you didn't?

If you have read my posts recently, you will see I favor approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.... May I laugh at you back? (....dork....)
