LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Education is the foundation of a strong military

We have the best-educated military in the world, which we should all be supporting.

One of the main reasons we defeated the imperial Japanese, the Germans, the North Koreans, the Iraqis (twice), etc., is because of our educated military.

If we cut funding for public schools, we are actually opening ourselves up for an attack from terrorists. If we fail to maintain a highly educated military, we are weakening our national defense. I surely do not want to be attacked again by terrorists.

Not only is weakening our military wrong, but I would also argue that it aids the enemy. Maybe some of the needed funds for education should even come from the defense budget.
