Because Americans are busy with dancing with the stars, black friday sales, football, basketball starting in december...and every other bullshit on TV. They do not give a fuck about what their government does with their money abroad.

Make it policy that NO PROFIT can be made off of war. THEN see how long these wars last....

In about 50 years I see the U.S. breaking up into confederations or separate countries.

[sereneyoshiko]

the irony is that the whole idea of and the word: defense, makes it sound like the US is defending itself on homefront, like, here in our country. What it should be called is OFFENSE spending because we are not bombing or fighting anywhere here, because of nafta we are hardly strict on the mexico border anymore, its all about defending ourselves in countries we dont belong in the first place. Stop the Offense, save on 'defense"

@kdavidmcd Also make it so NO Government can make a profit from The War on Drugs.

Drugs and Oil...... the two things that keep the war machine moving.

~~> Because if WE made our own armorments in our own factories, well, that would be socialism... Thank you Boeing for the pretty commercials I'm being force feed... I wonder what your selling me?? Free market capitalism made way for war profiteers... WE pay a private corp to feed our troops at $30 per... WE used to feed our own at $.30 per... Thank GOD for Mickey Dz in the green zone... I just don't know how our boys would be feed if it wern't for free market enterprise...

YUP! as long as Americans keep giving their hard-earned tax dollars to their war machine, the machine will keep eating them!

[TheNameOfMyAccount]

Americans have been electing anti-war people since the midterms in 2006. And ALL of them have continued the same policies using pathetic excuses and re-evaluations.

Don't blame the people for the monolithic corruption and criminality behind the scenes in Washington. We're at the epicenter in the USA, but whoever these people are, they're trying to control everyone. And stop believing what the TV tells you about us. Most of us have been poor for generations because of the system in place.

AMERICA WHY YOU NO CARE?

[airevolt1]

Google "Cost Plus". This is how the defense industry is financed. They get their expenses paid (cost) PLUS a percentage over that, so the more money they waste, the more money they make. They deliberately leave parts off of equipment so it will break down and need replacing- it's insane, but highly profitable. This is why we have endless wars against enemies of our own creation.

[DesertFerret7]

ISN"T IT FUCKING WONDERFUL THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS TAKING CARE ME?! IT'S SO FUCKING SWELL!!! I don't have to work! FUCK WORK MAN! THE GOVERNMENT HAS ME FUCKING MADE! THIS SO FUCKING WONDERFUL! No it isn't! Seems people are out of touch. It is going to come back and hit them square in the ass in hard way they can't even imagine. Once that happens they are going to realize that they have been duked and they will go in a rage attack. You can't hide from reality forever.
