The same people who talk about $3.5T (to be spent over a period of 10 years) like it’s some huge tsunami of irresponsible spending, casually and automatically renew a $780B defense budget every year and we’re not even supposed to ask questions.

Not to mention the annual NDAA renewal is always reported on as some big show of bipartisan cooperation. As if the pentagon doesn’t “lose track” of trillions over a 10 year period.

"When you're carrying a hammer, everything looks like a nail." What is the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex and Offense Contractors supposed to do with all of the Aircraft Carriers, Submarines, Battleships, Bombs, Missiles, Tanks, Soldiers, ... It seems we need to start a war!
