Look at where money is going....

In President Obama’s last year in office, the United States dropped 26,171 bombs in seven countries. This estimate is undoubtedly low, considering reliable data is only available for airstrikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya, and a single “strike,” according to the Pentagon’s definition, can involve multiple bombs or munitions. In 2016, the United States dropped 3,027 more bombs—and in one more country, Libya—than in 2015.

A Reaper drone costs $28 million; one Hellfire missile (Lockheed Martin/Raytheon) costs about $70,000; one Paveway bomb (Lockheed Martin/Raytheon) about $20,000. The total cost of one weapons load for a Reaper – four Hellfire/ two Paveway – is at least $320,000, a third of a million dollars.

We are putting our future generations in enormous debt keeping the MIC fat and sassy.....

Meanwhile we let our own people starve and do without health care because it's too expensive. As a nation we'd rather kill and maim and destroy than heal and feed.

This is our biggest export, war and bombs.......

We're assholes...... we're an asshole nation.

Is it any wonder Iran and N.K. are so eager to develop weapons to protect themselves?
