Given that we were wrong & we lost in Vietnam, we were wrong & we lost in Iraq, and we were wrong & we lost in Afghanistan, what will it take to smash the illusion that an unholy alliance with the military industrial complex & a $780 billion defense budget is anything but a scam?

Trillions of dollars easily spent on those wars, yet it’s a struggle to get trillions for infrastructure, healthcare, education, food…

We all know about the scam already. How about doing something about it?

Stop saying we were wrong and lost when that can only be said under assumption of good intentions We went to all those places to assert geopolitical control and funnel money to multinational corporations and their shareholders without much regard for human rights, aside optics.

....and that does not include the $624 billion we spend on NATO each year. So, all told, military is about $1.4 trillion annually. That's $4,236 for every man, woman, and child in America. Insanity!
