We are spending $20 billion a year on Syria and Iraq and $50 billion in Afghanistan. This is about 10% of the Pentagon’s budget. For what? Almost a trillion dollars has been spent in Afghanistan so far.
More money for a serious WALL & people to still patrol after the WALL is built.
I will never get to see the Great Wall of China——
But I want to live long enough to see The WALL on the southern USA border.
One of the reasons I LEFT So Calif after 29 years there was because of the influx of illegals. I no longer felt safe in my own home.
The US is spending $20 Billion taxpayer dollars on Syrian operations and much of Congress supported by most of K Street Washington violently opposes spending $5 Billion on partially erecting a border wall to protect the US from invasion by the illegals. That tells one everything that is needed to understand how the US government , the political class and the so called elites have become the enemies of the American people.
“We are spending $20 billion a year on Syria and Iraq and $50 billion in Afghanistan. This is about 10% of the Pentagon’s budget. For what? Almost a trillion dollars has been spent in Afghanistan so far.”
And when we close out the above countries the Dems will start harping about how to spend the “Peace Dividend”.
For what you ask?
The answer is that, “live fire exercises give all the Brass Hats and politicians a huge woody”.
Where else can you get real combat testing of equipment and tactics?
“If a few of our young men and women have to die in the process, so be it, it’s not gonna be my kid”.
Typical REMF attitude.
We would have been better off dropping bundles of cash, drugs and guns. Liberals without parachutes would have been nice also. If a liberal survives then they would have declared war on us.
