The bloated military” protecting us or protecting them?

HELP ENLIGHTEN YOUR FELLOWS. BE SURE TO PASS THIS ON. SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON IT.

The least we can say is what a colossal waste!

Who is "them"?
"Them" is the 0.00001% that owns just about everything worth owning in the US sphere of influence—from the megacorporations that gird the globe, to the media and the politicians, plus influencing much of the culture with their destructive point of view. All these wars and all these expenses accompanied by curtailment of desperately needed things in the US serve only the ruling plutocracy. Period.

Typical comments (show a healthy skepticism vs the official plutocratic narrative):

Chonleedonya Odum My man who served 11 years will tell you this shit is completely unnecessary. Our government isn’t trying to protect us, but only their special interests. You all need to wake up to what the military is all about. It’s not to protect our rights or to keep us safer. That’s the illusion.

 

Eddy Henry Exactly what are you scared of? Your defence budget is 10x what numbers 1-10 in the world are. I have no sympathy for any fucked up country that spends so much on defence but doesn't have free health care hahahahah
Patricia Francis The above investment protected every single American citizen...even if it was just by a perceived threat.......food stamps to career welfare clients and illegals is money flushed down the toilet!!!!


Patroklus Maximums We see clearly where you're coming from: the brainwashed, "patriotic" Americans who are happy to lend blood and muscle to the US imperial project and are like moles in regard to figuring what's really going on. Dripping class and racist hatred, but for the poor, you give a pass to and lick the boot of the billionaires who are the ones really screwing you. What's really irritating is that until zombies like you wake up, the rest of us (including you) will remain in chains and vulnerable to the 1% depredations, corruption and insanity.


Ted Lehman Protected you from perceived threats, is that like walking around your house with a loaded 12 gauge in case the boogeyman jumps out! News flash ... you are the boogeyman ! You invade other countries either by force or by setting up your military base there! America has single-handedly destroyed the world! Well done hope you are proud
