It’s not “an unpopular war.” It’s a special military operation that was planned as a short term mission to teach Iran how to play nicely with others. All Americans really GAF about is the price of gas & groceries. I doubt any American lies awake at night worrying about their kid going to “war.” Just one more reason for me to hate the media.

“The request includes $21 billion to recoup munitions expenditures, $5.1 billion for cybersecurity and autonomy, $2.4 billion for drones, $4 billion for systems related to airborne moving target indication and the space data network backbone, and $12.1 billion for classified programs, according to the request, which was obtained by Breaking Defense. The document does not provide additional details on what specific weapon systems or capabilities would receive a funding injection if the request is approved.

“The supplemental also requests $17.3 billion for operational costs, $1.7 billion for readiness needs, $1.5 billion for fuel costs, $1.2 billion for unspecified “Administration priorities” and $800 million for National Guard Support.”

Give the $88 billion to American farmers and don’t give a penny to the military.

If the U.S. Department of Defense can’t manage a four-month regional military campaign on a $1 TRILLION annual budget, then it should be scrapped entirely and rebuilt from the ground up.
