I am sure that cutting your veterans benefits will have absolutely no impact in your recruitment......perhaps they plan to reinstate conscription? I am no fan of your army, but you kept your end of the deal with your country, and should be treated acordingly......... your country should be ashamed that one of every three homeless is a veteran......ashamed!

@ You could cut your healthcare-spending. You spend around ten times what we spend in Europe, and still, if you have aserious issue, your people get ruined, while beeing delivered a third-world country service (or worse). YOUR money, is been stoved in doves into the pockets of the big farma..... Cut that (while letting them still have a reasonable benefit), and you will see your situation improve.......

For us westerners, one of the problems is to realize how HUGE Africa is. Conventional maps tend to overrepresent the size of some places while underepresent some other. For example, in a traditional map, Greenland has the same size (aproximately) as Africa. In reality, Africa is 14 times bigger than Greenland.......Africa is 6 times bigger than all of Europe (if we don`t include Russia), and USA, could fit also 5 times into Africa......that huge.........

@realdreamerschangetheworld7470 Yep. Going to the next valley, and taking their stuff and fertile women (after disposing of the rest) is a classic. Hell! Even the chimpanzees do it, so we can reasonably speculate that our common ancestor (6 million years ago) did it also. If you want to get depressed, have a bad day, and loose all faith in humanity (and hominids in general), check "Cimpanzee wars" in your browser. It`s in our genes......

@ You see, when you are not interested in invading some middle east country from time to time, but only want to be able to defend yourself, your needs are not much. Our spending is perfectly adecuate for our needs. I can undestand countries like Germany, Poland, and the baltic states getting nervous (I would too, if I hade a neighbour like Russia), but in the case of my country, you have never done nothing for us, and can, politely, go kick rocks......
