God forbid we invest in things that matter- energy, the border, infrastructure, etc. I served, and proud of it, but damn, it’s one war after another.

You mean to tell me that Congress only holds the purse strings when Trump wants to build a wall?

The Afghans, with less from the outset , did it.

That only took 10 years.

So are we expected to contribute 100's of billions for the next 10 years?

The idea is to outlast Russia. At some point they’ll realize that Ukraine won’t capitulate, and occupation is impractical. The Afghans, with less from the outset , did it.


Two totally different situations.

Who are your insurgents gonna be? Ukraine has lost a significant percentage of her population and is down to conscripting middle aged men. Ukraine doesn’t have a country full of men who are dedicated to a violent religion.

Exactly.

We are now overextended financially AND militarily.

In the history of all thing DoD, when has this ever happened?

Also, if Army accountants can come up with these "Savings" why have they not been doing it before now?

Cut DoD funding by half immediately, then figure out what is really necessary...

Behind Covid, Ukraine, is the second biggest Scam in American history.(so far) If the Democrats win, it will bankrupt America and the Chinese and the Russians will split what's left. We cannot survive 4 more years of this dumb phuck, Joe Biden. in office. This election will "make or break" the United States. Think about your kids.
