Then with all the money getting spent on these senseless imperialistic ventures they keep cutting the VA budget in the name of austerity. And everybody hates us all over the world. Who can blame them?I'm reminded of the quote from titanic when they realise there are not enough votes.
Yeah, I know that they don't give a fuck about that. They got what they wanted. But who else has?
I live right down the street from a VA hospital. We go there regularly to donate blood. It's pretty horrific, let me tell you. Nobody gives a fuck about these guys.

" Not the better half. "
What is" the country". The majority? The economy? The ruling class? Certainly the poor bastards with half their limbs missing, a shit pension and ptsd. But the people keeping score, they won plenty!
Senseless? No. Not even evil I suspect. Simply amoral.
