So he wants more soldiers, more Marines, more boats, more planes, more everything and plans to pay for it, in part, by cutting government waste? What -- is he the only person alive who hasn't got the memo that one of the grossest forms of unaccountable government waste is . . . wait for it . . . defense spending? Or is he going to turn his awesome negotiating chops on the defense contractors who have been making fools of Presidents and Congresses since before Ike warned of the military industrial complex?
And all of this after he has questioned the efficacy of NATO and suggested we scale back our military commitments in Korea, Japan, and the Pacific theater generally?
Trump is going to come up with a plan to wipe out ISIS in his first 30 days? Wow. He should also come up with a plan to wipe out cancer in the same timeframe. It would be about as simple.
No, great, let's piss away more money on "defense". It's not like our fucking infrastructure isn't in dire need of repair and upgrade. And of course, our education system is still the best Third-World system money can buy. Nothing to improve there, as evidenced by the complete lack of fucking morons voting for this clown. Shore up Social Security and Medicare? Fuck 'em! If they want to retire with a shred of dignity, let them retire and then get a job at WalMart like their grandparents did. Or maybe they can pick lettuce once we've driven out the Mexicans -- you know, those jobs they're "stealing" from us.
And people lap this shit up like it makes any sense. Unbelievable. Then again, except for a couple of generations that really went through the fire, there has never been a shortage of armchair warriors and wanna-be tough guys who love to play soldier almost as much as their heroes like Reagan and now, presumably, Trump. It's a shame he didn't serve in Vietnam. I'm sure his men would have fragged his ass.
I'm also curious about these 88 former generals and admirals who have come out in support of Trump. I wonder how many of these retired brass now serve on the boards of the very companies that stand to benefit from the promised largesse?
