I am not babbling anything. The sole purpose of the US government is to protect and serve the citizenry of this nation. When our government can no longer, to some extent ensure the safety of its citizens, ESPECIALLY when those citizens are supporting the government's mission in a foreign land, then it is of no use to anyone. Least of all the citizens.Okay... you are kind of babbling here, but let's look at this.
They were warned that Afghanistan was unstable.... They went anyway. We'll make an effort to get them out, but there has to be a point where you say, "You pays your money and you take your chances".
But NATO itself ended operations in 2014.
Actually, we spent 3 Trillion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Where did that money go? It's a lot of money for so little results... and not surprisingly, a lot of money went to these corrupt ass contractors.
Haliburton alone received 39 Billion from their work in Iraq and
The $385 Billion Military-Industrial Boondoggle You've Never Heard Of
America's foreign bases are more staggering than ever—and, with your tax dollars, an empire of private contractors is holding them down.www.thenation.com
These big companies also have a lot of lobbyists in Washington, and you can't see the connections?
Again- they knew the work was dangerous when they took it.
So stop being a biased douche bag, and making excuses for this senile fuckwad, and his inept administration.
