one of the largest socialized systems in america is its military. taxes pay their salary, medical care, housing, food, etc.. don't like socialism? get rid of the military FIRST
 
Of course it's socialism...

Especially based on the loose manner in which you brandy the term about.

A wounded soldier should have the right to choose his battle field care provider, based on the most economical options for his particular injury. Pure market armed forces at work.

What if the soldier is too gravely injured to speak? Perhaps they should have a battlefield advocate from each corporation? Should the military just accept the lowest bidder in this case?

In that case, no-bid contracts to Halliburton would cover the deal.

going on ignore for not understanding what is socialism. I'm no Einstein but a man has to have standards.
 
The military isn't socialism because it's not an economic system. It has an economic system, but it's really just part of a larger entity and therefore it's not appropriate to call it socialist/capitalist/etc.

The last army which operated on socialist principles was the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. That didn't work out well for them.

The military is not a Socialism.



We've done that topic to death.

Yes it is


it's pretty much the epitome of socialism in every single aspect


the rights typical response to this is summed up in your words " we discussed this".. despite never ever telling us how that discussion went

so capitalism involves the taxpayer covering someone's food, clothing, training, lodging, education ,and health benefits?
