"The military will buy 500 American-made Stryker LAV-3 armored personnel carriers...The $750 million purchase of the Strykers will be funded by America's annual defense aid to Israel."
So, shouldn't this read, "The American taxpayer will give 500 Strykers....."? Now I know where the child tax credit I didn't get this year went to. (the boy turned seventeen so the government thinks it no longer costs me anything to support him)

Just be happy that Israel is the one country in the Middle East your son will not have to risk his blood to fight Jihadists.
Cheap at twice the price, seeing how it costs us more that that A DAY to support the Iraq conflict.

The aid is in the form of an aid. The US gets money back always and this purchase creates jobs in America and increases business.

And that he's not yet in the military, and about to be deployed into Iraq in a Stryker-equipped unit.
