    How many fucking budget conflicts is America gonna have in the next 10 months? FFS. Seems like a new budget bill shows up every month.

      Note, low level US military staff are mostly NOT part of the military industrial complex, rather they are a employed as a sacrifice for it.

    US does like to have disposable people in their wars of terror. Usually though it’s restricted to those Americans in the military

      Nah, the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars set the US on a path to the 2008 Financial Crash, or at least it set the US on a path it could not avoid such a foolish, destructive calamity.

      Those wars in some ways made my generation disposable to the US, so much investment in us just never happened as it was siphoned away for “National Security” and the “Global War On Terror”.
