      I remember seeing a segment on the news that said the heads of the military said they have enough crap but the politicians keep giving them more money to buy more crap. Why? Because the corrupt politicians are bribed by the weapon manufacturers.

      Frustrating…

        because people like shcumer, hakeem, slotkin is getting money from aipac(which is really tax money) to fund israels campaigns, indirectl or directly. and many universities is a pipeline for weapons/tech development for israel too. the GOP takes money too from them. also defense contractors are likely lobbying these gop/dems to continue a war.
