Military Democracy

The sixth draft amending Chapter One Navy Hospitals, Naval Home, Army and other Naval Hospital, and Hospital Relief for Seamen and Others §1-40 is done on Memorial Day to honor the soldiers who gave their lives in defense of our nation. Resolved to give democratic peace theory, that democratic nations are more peaceful, a fair try, by eliminating all forms of psychological warfare from government, pushing for an international government that is democratically elected and teaching the four Ds - Development, Disarmament, Diplomacy and Democracy.

The United States has the best-trained, most effective military in the world. The military is an all-volunteer force. The Department employs an estimated 2.8 million people, 1.1 million active duty troops, 700,000 civilian employees and 1.1 million in the Reserve and National Guard. In FY 2007 they received a 2.7% pay raise in appreciation for their good work reducing military spending from $505 billion to $470 billion that helped to reduce the deficit from $325 billion to $250 billion. To affirmatively balance the budget Congress must restrain military spending to less than $400 billion.

Since 2001, approximately 1,500,000 members of the Armed Forces have been deployed in support of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. At this time more than 137,000 United States military personnel are bravely and honorably serving in Iraq. Over 3,100 members of the Armed Forces have died, and over 22,500 members of the Armed Forces have been wounded. The civil war in Iraq is a product of ongoing sectarian violence that is fueled by the colonial presence of US forces. A United States declaration of an intention to withdraw United States troops and close military bases will help dampen the insurgency which has been inspired to resist colonization. The cost of withdrawing United States troops from Iraq could be as low as $10 billion.
