Waste of money and another stupid war. What is going on in the uSA is just like Rome. Watch the film Gladiator. Corrupt govt and leader has the army off on 3 chicken sh*t wars to get the country’s best killed. Distract the masses with bread and circuses (food stamps & crap & propaganda TV).
Bankrupt the nation. Our military is getting wiped out protecting the House of Saud. A nation of fools drooling over propaganda TV and media. Sad.
Whether this war is a good idea or not, your repeated posts about bankrupting the country by fighting in the Middle East are pure crap.
For example, we’ve spent less than $800 billion on Iraq up to now. That’s 8 years. Meanwhile, the deficit for just last year is $1.5 trillion, or almost twice that. Between 1965 and 2000, we spent around $9 trillion on welfare in year 2000 dollars. As a percentage of GNP our military spending is around 4-4.5% in recent years. Where do you think social spending is as a percentage of GNP? If you add in education (which costs about 3 times as much per student as it did in 1970) where are we at on percentage?
