Is Government Too Incompetent?

If government is too incompetent to run health care, as Republicans claim, then surely it cannot wage war, which is a vastly more complicated business. To be consistent, Republicans must oppose all foreign engagements and demand the instant withdrawal of U.S. troops. Because government is just too wasteful, isn't it? Besides, the military is a socialist institution, and socialism is bad. What we need is a private army funded by Republican donors--the same armchair generals that get excited over the prospect of killing foreigners.
