When you add in the time it took to pacify Germany and turn it over to legitimate self rule ... (sound like Iraq?) we have NOT been in Iraq ‘longer than it took to fight WWII’.

The fight for Europe did NOT end on VE day.

Don’t let the lieberals pull you in on “how long we’ve been in Iraq”

It’s bigger than Iraq, although that is a contributor. In the 1950s and ‘60s, we were spending nearly half our annual budget on the military. Today, it’s significantly less than 10%. What has taken its place? Entitlement spending. In other words, welfare and free pills for old people have become more important.
