Let’s reflect on the major conflicts the United States of Lobbyists was engaged in during the 20th and 21st centuries. During The two world wars we, had democratic presidents who were not very keen on spilling American blood nor waste tax dollars on the greedy republican dogs who profit from weapon manufacturing, the industry of death. Yet despite their reluctance to join the conflict, America emerged as a world superpower. The defense budget spiked during those conflicts but then it decline afterwords.

Then lets recollect the bloody party and its warmongering. President Dwight D. Eisenhower /SPIT, got us into the Vietnam war and, to me, is responsible for the deaths of over 58,000 American lives and over a million Vietnamese civilians. Furthermore, There are recorded accounts of rape BY USA SOLDIERS. If that’s not terrorism, I don’t know what is. Of course we LOST the war. So much for the conniving bloody party and it portrayal of this nation as the undefeated champion of the world...
Let’s not forget when AMERICAN soldiers were rented out as mercenaries to the hedonist monarchs of the oil rich Arabian gulf. During the first gulf war, Bush the serpent head rested easy when he bartered the lives of 150 American soldiers for billions of dollars of Arab money. To a bloody president, money trumps American lives any time, any where.
Then of course we have had the most malfeasent bloody president of all... Bush little /SPIT /SPIT /SPIT. Not only did He caused the Great Recession, but he dragged the United States of lobbyists into two unmerited wars... we have suffered approximately 7000 American lives and still counting. The financial burden of these wars are approximately 6 trillion dollars. Yet after all of that, did we make America any safer? Did we stabilize the Middle East? Did we proselytize the absolute monarchies or dictatorships of the Middle East? No, no, and no... all that vacuous bloody president did, was create a power vacuum from which creeped out the horrors of ISIS. This self proclaimed caliphate of ISIS was ones solicited by the US army to preach in prisons. CURSE YOU BUSH LITTLE...
The war in Afghanistan still rages on after more then 15 years. The full might of AMERCIA has failed to subdue a primitive band of cave dwellers. Who will have the guts to pull us out of this war? Not this bigot-in-chief by any account. He actually is increasing the numbers of US boots on the ground. The prejudiced current president, seems all to eager to take up an Israeli cause and get us into a war with Iran. Or start a war with a lunatic dictator in North Korea because he can’t restrain his impulses.
Warfare is more business then blood. And of course the lobbyists solicit congress relentlessly to further their own cause at the cost of the tax payer. By simply buying a media outlet, these companies can indoctrinate simple minded folks and make zombies out of them. These zombies used to chant “brains!”... but now they chat “lock her up” and “make America great again”.
Lastely, don’t be misguided into believing that our military exists to protect us... it is actually scattered across the globe and we are quite vulnerable. Our military is used to protect those who pay for such protections, and it’s not the tax payer...
