This is the might our 20 trillion dollars spent on military has bought us.
A month or two ago they sent out an email asking common military members for ideas to deal with Iran. We've paid think tanks millions of dollars for plans like that. Guess they weren't worth anything in practice though.
All that money spent on plans and equipment and it sustains--what?--like 3 weeks of bombing Iranian children? (I mean, we did bomb a children's school on the first day, and nobody has been held accountable, so I'm still bitter about that. Let's be better please.)

- tim333 19d agoThe US has a lot of military hardware but questionable leadership just now. At least they've brought in testosterone tests so the military should look the part.
- notpachet 19d ago> Let's be better please. That rhetorical horse left the allegorical barn a long time ago.
- Gud 19d agoThe "plans" were never used though. This whole affair is conducted by imbeciles.
- UncleMeat 18d agoThis is what you get when you hire a TV personality who cares more about soldiers looking masculine (and white) than anything else and launch an illegal war for no reason other than "those guys make me angry." We are governed by people who think the very idea of expertise is dumb. A system of pure id and grievance. Like children playing war in the bath tub.
