What does our $1T Dept of War budget buy?

Part II

The unforced error of a War on Iran highlights that our budget is not made for war, but for profits.

The Iran military budget is $23 Billion, that's under 3% of our budget. They are arguably at very least even and inflicting massive damage on us and our "Greatest Ally".

Think of it, 3% of our budget plus Israel has 3 squadrons of F-35I's. The Israeli air base was just lightly tapped by modified $20,000 a piece drones and is inoperable for 36 hours. Our aircraft carriers have moved at least 500 miles away from Iran and one is "on fire"

Iran's is a tight, focused budget that's directed inward to the defense of their homeland and not to getting involved in endless conflicts for decades all over the world.

Has the time finally arrived to completely rethink our Military strategy and budgeting?

What's hidden in the black budgets that could actually help the American People?

Who do we need still 700 bases all over the world?

I've never served, I'm not a military strategist, but I see major, unaddressed problems that will only get much worse by throwing even more money at it

Thoughts?

They have already won.

You people are not in the majority and you won't get your way. Play ball or get ass-raped.

I hope the TSA tases you before they do a full cavity search on your dumb ass.

You sound like Lindsay Graham (the new face of the Republican Party) with one of his "call boys."

No worries, I don't fly the cattle cars of the skies. Hell, I don't even have a real ID driver's license.

No "mark of the beast" for me.

Yup ... the Vagus nerve (responsible for laughter).

Your head on an ugly stick?

My first thought is that you are full of shit as usual....I stopped there.

What did I get wrong?

Still rooting for the bad guys, huh? Sad.

What’s sad is not having an issue with the United States killing children
