1/ So basically we’re leaving Afghanistan after 20 years and the Taliban is now on its way to Kabul. Which means we wasted $2T and 2400 American lives for….nothing. The situation is not appreciably any better than it was when we went there.

2/ Yet even this year we’re spending $763B on defense because obviously we do such a bang up job. Hey kids: what do Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan all have in common? Wasted blood, wasted money, massive failure.

3/ The defense industry is no different than the fossil fuel industry or health insurance industry or any other corporate tyrant that allows profits to take precedence over human life. In the case of MIC, particularly heinous because of how much damage it does to other countries

4/ America’s grace period can’t last forever. While both political parties play whore to the defense industry, the people ourselves need to stand up to the emperor and admit he has no clothes. Our military bloat is not a path to security; it’s a purveyor of death & destruction.

@marwilliamson Maybe if 200,000+ INNOCENT MUSLIM CIVILIANS MURDERED in Afg & NW Pak, & the 1,000,000 MURDERED in Iraq by US Forces in the name of "Freedom".. Maybe just maybe, if they were labeled "Jewish" or "Zionist", instead of Muslim, u might give a shit to even mention them!

Laundering our tax money for profit driven genocide is exactly what these satanic assholes love to do.

We are actually here to Love each other and live together in Peace. Until enough of us wake up to this Higher Truth, welcome to life, underneath the negative influence of our self destructive, self deceptive fear based human egos.

Experience. The world's mightiest military just renewed it's experience level. The lesson's learned will be good for another two generations. 1/?.

But that’s $2T that defense contractors got and made a lot of people rich. That’s all that counts in a capitalist society. The government doesn’t give a fig about lives lost or this “how are you going to pay for it” nonsense when it comes to senseless wars.

You killed millions of people in this region and the situation will be appreciably better than it was when you Invaders went there
Replying to @marwilliamson
So basically what about the thousands and thousands of dead in Afghanistan and the step backwards for women’s rights, education, etc.
