To the editor:

By NOT fighting everyone’s wars we would reduce our military expenses drastically, save our soldiers lives, keep them from being disabled and reduce taxes on future generations while staying within our budget.

These people whom we defend are not grateful. They kill our ambassadors, burn our embassy and flag. They have riots because some foreign criminal here made a movie on Muslims. Do these sheiks offer us free oil for all of our protection, or do they charge us more?

Outer space can be cut from our program, too.

We pray for peace and promote better health, yet we fight everyone’s wars, causing soldiers’ deaths and disabilities and leaving families hurt. Does this make sense? Neither candidate embraced peace. Other countries do not have the huge defense budget we do, nor a big a national debt. If we cut out fighting, other countries’ wars, we might be able to fund PBS.

Kris Kobach requires picture IDs for seniors who don’t drive and does not accept picture IDs from young adults who go to private schools. Isn’t this discrimination against seniors and private school students?
