The problem with spending money on Military, is that you always have tree hugger politicians that will raise an up-roar about wasting money doing so. I can't think of any Government world-wide, maybe outside of N.Korea or Russia that does not want to support or spend money on the Military. Soon as it comes to spending a lot of money to upgrade our defenses, certain politicians and news companies turn it into war mongering nightmare. Even if World War 3 was upon us, they would be saying no to new weapons and technology, that money should be spent on feeding the homeless, and the sick, the people on welfare that still do drugs and spend our money at the local bar.
I like knowing the tax payers money is going into something that is protecting Canada, and the rest of the world. It's something where I know the money is allocated too, and hell, I could even go and see them if I wanted too. Furthermore it's protecting our own soldiers that are doing their duty. Those boys and girls deserve the best, cause they sure as hell don't make near enough money as they should. Canada not upgrading our jets is like asking Rossi to take the local 250 to the SuperBike Championships, every other Country worth a damn is upgrading their Military, we need to follow suit whether it be now, or 10 years later when what we have is literally dropping pieces in the sky.
