      They blew through their budget like crazy the first few weeks of the war.

      They’re asking car dealerships if they can help manufacturer missiles.

      Yeah, how can the richest country in the world with the biggest military budget do this shit to the people they really depend on?

      Just look at the private sector in contrast. This country mints more billionaires than anywhere else while treating workers AND customers like shit and-- oh wait.

        Have you not seen how often Trump has disrespected the millitary?

        It’s mind-boggling that he gets away with it, even while everyday Americans reflexively say “thank you for your service” any time they encounter a soldier or veteran.

          Yeah I have. It’s bonkers, but it is also indicative of our culture. sadly. That’s why I made a joke comparing the government’s exploitation and mistreatment of military members with the rest of the economy’s exploitation and mistreatment of all the other normal people. In both cases, the people in power are choosing “number goes up a little bit faster than before” over “human life and well being” repeatedly.

          I guess flags and pleading allegiance at schools has its effects.

      How can you grift money while supplying great meals to the troops? The leadership in the USA loves the war and hates the troops.
