If I'm reading this right, Mackenzie is supporting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as government make-work projects. In that case, I have good news for her: spending that same money domestically can create <a href="http:\/\/www.peri.umass.edu\/fileadmin\/pdf\/working_papers\/working_papers_151-200\/WP151.pdf" target="_blank">more than twice as many jobs!</a> Or, if she prefers, spend half that amount and still have the same net number of jobs.

They were just making sure the Japanese didn't invade the Philippines while our backs were turned. And in that, you will have to admit, they were fully successful.

Also , I don't think we had any merchant vessels sunk by German U-boats either. Win-win.

Perhaps she should go back a little before 1916. There was an army in 1914 which could lose 19,000 soldiers in a day, and still managed to function.

Note to prospective lovers of Hackenzie "American" Eaglen, looking to tickle her war-boner.: try whispering "1916"
