    The Founders seriously distrusted a standing army and we haven't had to 'defend' this country since maybe WWII. The Navy (including Marines) was included in the Constitution. No standing army. But the militia of the states was included.

    If you didn't notice it before now, you weren't paying attention. <br />One might argue it needs more, but I would argue the next reforms in this area are on the Government side, where no one ever gets laid off or is accountable.

    Seriously? Defense and Military spending is one of the few areas of spending granted in th constitution. We are about to shrink to pre-WW II levels (because that worked out so well) and 2/3's pof the budget is on social programs. Sorry, I feel you are out of touch to keep ringing the "mil/ind complex" bell.

    In the 20th Century Motor Company it was a self guided destruction with their screwed up remuneration program. With Sicorsky it's external.

    Yes, yes, yes! We had an oppressive business climate even before Governor Malloy but it has gotten significantly worse since he took office.

    Stop looking at all of the negatives. Search for one piece of good news and make a big deal out of it.
