What would you have the DoD do? They don't set budget priorities, the civilian government does. The military is completely subordinate to congress and the President. They're spending money as they see fit, and those purse strings are controlled by legislators.
The "US government" isn't a monolithic block. If you want change, vote and convince others to do the same. But to complain that the DoD should be spending their money elsewhere is just not how it works.
I feel like someone missed highschool civics class...
- aaomidi 5y agoLol, you know why governments loveeeee bureaucracy? Cause people like you looooooove to point out "oh thats not how you're supposed to complain about the budget." I don't get to pick and choose where my taxes go, so for all intents and purposes, all of the government is fair to criticize. > "I feel like someone missed highschool civics class... " A high school civics class is not, and should not be necessary to criticize the government. Stop gatekeeping how criticism has to work.
- jorblumesea 5y agoAre you trolling at this point? I'm not saying you can't criticize the government, I'm saying you clearly lack knowledge of how the government works. Roasting the DoD for spending money they were allotted by elected representatives is literally how the process works. Complete waste of time and a total misunderstanding of how the government functions. Elect better politicians, pretty simple.
