My National Guard dollars are being spent on devastated Floridians as we speak. A direct transfer to them, basically.
My Border Patrol monies mostly protect residents of vulnerable border states.
My military expenditures in Afghanistan are primarily protecting people who live on the coasts, in big cities. Think Osama is ever going to target Minnesota?
I think you artifically make your distinction more . . . distinct.
