the military doesnt need that much and thats not what most of it's for. a lot of it is like a slush fund for the Pentagon to play around with, but mostly its a bottomless welfare fund for an assortment of large corporations that own most of the ppl in Washington

To keep this going

Yes, Where does that money really go??? Military families are struggling with food insecurity and mental health issues! Why?? @POTUS @SecDef @VP

The more you clamp down on others, the more you have to clamp down to maintain control. It can never rest.

Unlike nearly every other military, poorly paid American soldiers have to pay for their own haircuts and uniforms, so none of the $778 billion goes to that.

Well, they need about 50% to make military contractors rich enough to fund the campaigns of the people who vote on the military contracts. Ouroboros

And why, even though the budget increases every year, the troops and veterans are not well cared for?

You should go on the #naturalistcapitalist podcast and talk to @Reed_Coverdale about it. #commonground

Stopped asking when I realized they will budget $5000 for a hammer, and the answer became clear; it’s for graft and corruption in the military industrial complex.

No. Obviously it funnels through the defense contractors and comes back as campaign contributions and super PACs.
