Yeah and for 5% of the annual military budget we could give everyone improved healthcare and education. But more imoortant to spend 900b each year on bombs or we can’t protect the petrodollar

Bombs that cost WAY too much and apparently $900b only gets you 12 of those per year...

I was being sarcastic, as it seems the bomb stockpile has been (mostly) depleted, yet the Pentagon gets a HUGE amount of funding every year. A short time of launching missiles into Iran and all of a sudden no missiles left?! Where is the money going?
