Xiden is sending 650 more targets, err, I mean troops. Expect that number to increase. No way will we be out of Afghanistan. Expect more troops to Syria, Iraq, Africa and other places around the world.
Endless wars are back...NeoCons Rejoice!
” Expect more troops to Syria, Iraq, Africa and other places around the world.”
I spent an entire career working in the military industrial complex. Those companies have powerful lobbies and those lobbyists actually “know*” the levers of power in DC. I have seen the superior military product passed over for an inferior one, but going to a company who regularly employs people who make those decisions. Those products require a market and that market is all the little wars all over the world. Even when the government decides it is going to save babies in some African deification hole that comes with military force because in lots of those places you can’t move without armed guards. And, it always helps to “pacify” some group or other who might impede the baby-saving operation. (All of this is for a good cause. It’s just fortunate coincidence that free golf gets played or book deals get made.)
* Know...provide free golf, meals, hotels, trips, etc. They also can arrange a multi-million dollar book deal, or a substantial contribution to a “charitable” organization. Know means, *wink, wink, nod, nod, secret handshake.*
