it’s driven by the fact that we’re broke.”
Actually it's driven by the fact that the left hates the military because:
1.) The military took an oath to support and defend something (the Constitution) created by a bunch of rich white old men who owned slaves
2.) Money spent on the military could be better spent giving “social handouts” to illegals and deadbeats in exchange for votes.
3.) Our military is hated by the very countries that the treasoncrats and RINO’s in this country idolize such as iran, north korea, china, venezuela, etc, etc.
If you look at where most of the money is going
it’s headed towards non-military uses:
retirees, grossly-overpaid civilian contractors, internal “security” apparatus, foreign aid, etc.
Ships and planes cost a lot...and the time of huge fleets of either is over
We’re going through a painful period of transition in the country, from a republic to a plutocracy
And SF, surveillance tools and spies, and light internal security forces are the traditional weapons of plutocrats
