Please tell me it ain't so, because if it is we're going to have to start talking about it. I would love to have some real feedback. Sure, register your disappointment, your indignation, but also make room for real evidence. Let's not let this one drop with a few "likes" and "comments". This needs to go further, much further. Talk to your Congressional candidates about it. Forget those already in Congress. They seem to be immune to this nonsense. We need to stack Congress with people dedicated to fixing this, if it's true...

Everyone but the average US citizen... Since WWII every place we have gone to war with, when all is said and done, we dump billions back in to rebuild them... Germany, Japan, Vietnam, The Balkans, The Middle East, Afghanistan... Name one place we didn't dump a butt-load of money back into after the war. Now it is an entirely different question as how that money was used, for another thread.
But what do the American people and out nation get? Debt, our own crumbling infra-structure, our allies buying up all the mineral rights of the war-torn country, trade agreements that favor them, casualties, dead, and a President that goes on a apology tour.
As a Veteran who saw combat, I support military action.
What I don't support is what we do after. What ever happened to, "to the victor goes the spoils"? I don't think the American flag should fly above Baghdad, but we certainly should have seized a percentage of the oil rights. The same goes for Afghanistan, they have precious minerals and metals, why did we allow the Chinese to buy up those rights? A percentage should be ours. The same goes for all the other armpits places our military gets sent. Sometimes in the name of peacekeeping, sometimes, as humanitarian, sometimes, as war... regardless the reason the nations we help and/or fight needs to pay up.
So as I said, who gains from war, everyone else but average Americans and our nation as a whole.
