    Ok I’ve seen them talk about how Trump rebuilt the military and the Biden closed it.

    What the fuck they talking about here? Seems unfounded and devoid of fact, standard fare for sure for them but what do they even point to? The military had never been stronger prior to Trump on account of the 20 year Middle East war.

    Now there was no war and Trump ended Afghanistan conveniently shortly after Bidens inauguration, and without a war naturally military spending went down.

      I guess that depends on how you look at the military being stronger, are we stronger after supporting this thing in gaza? I would say no. We are stronger for supporting Ukraine, for supporting Gaza we were weaker. That is truth.

        No because that was off the cuff. And let’s not forget Kegsbreth has gutted the military personnel, so it’s lost its top minds and experience.

        The military build up and a coalition of war in Iraq and Afghanistan etc brought up the military by leaps and bound and the arms industry.

          The military leadership was pretty fucked before these Traitors took control.

          I refer you to us never having won a war since World War II, I mean unless you count like Serbia or whatever.

          There was no Marshall Plan for vietnam, for iraq, for Afghanistan.

          We are too mean-spirited to achieve our goals, our stated goals, the goals of our politicians are simply to milk the federal government for money. To borrow money and give it to their Pals which give it back to them. That is the fucking truth. And it’s both fucking parties believe it.
