People aay the strangest things to justify our military spending.
I remember once someone responded to the budget increase by saying that "they need to pay the troops, their was a raise for them in the budget." Do they believe even 1 of those 800+ billions annually goes to paying da troops? A lot of military families are on SNAP, they pay them shit. You could give them a raise and still not scratch the defense budget
Surely nothing bad will come out of a state not feeding its own troops https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/01/what-it-means-for-hunger-to-burn-through-the-pentagons-ranks.html
Not to mention all the homeless veterans too. It's a disgrace.
Its a disgrace because homelessness is man made and easily solvable. Not because some were troops. Fuck the troops
