no, think about the medical bills that WE have had to pay in the last 19 years for him...

but IMHO, it beats most of the crap government spends money on.



Exactly, the medical bills WE have had to pay.



thats pretty goddamn selfish right there.



I agree. I'd rather see us spend millions of tax dollars to save a life, then spend millions to make a missle for "national defense".



Call it selfish if you want, but you paid for his care as well. Ethics aside, you can't skate over the issue of the medical costs and how we all have to pay for it. Sure, it's great saving a life and all that, but damn, come on. Enough is enough already! Nineteen years of coverage for a vegetable? Who here isn't paying out the butt for health coverage already? Doctors are going broke just to maintain malpractice insurance. I could go on and on. We don't have a social system where everyone gets health coverage. That's capitalism at it's finest and that's the way it is.

As for our defense spending, that's just the price of freedom baby. Our country was built on fighting, and that's the mentality we have maintained for our entire history. Hopefully, that will change someday, but I don't see that happening in my lifetime.
