American defense contractors are "winning" every day. The trillions of dollars being handed over to private companies for aircraft, guns, ammo, food, fuel, technology, etc. is pleasing to those who are profiting.
Anyone who thinks we are there for legitimate reasons is allowing themselves to be mislead. The war in Afghanistan is also employing tens of thousands of people. What would happen if the war ended tomorrow? would all those people come home to our high paying manufacturing jobs?. Sadly any discussion about any war is by nature a Parf subject because it's either politics or religion (both sides) that spills the blood. Either way it is hugely profitable for private companies.
When it goes to parf we all know what will happen. The narrow minded zombies of the distorted perspective brigade will turn it into an insult fest. It's quite sad that an entire forum of people who yearn for intelligent discussion have that spoiled by a half dozen members of the narrow minded zombie brigade.
I challenge anyone to spend time with a calculator and break down the "defense" budget and not become frothing angry. Ill add that there are millions upon millions of Dollars that go unaccounted for every year. So how is it that I received a letter from the govt stating I owed them 27$ from my 2002 tax year in 2011?
The idiocy and rampant corruption is mind boggling.
