And the Military Industrial Complex runs its hands as it see more profits to be made.

Spending all of this on equipment which will be obsolete quickly will eventually bankrupt the US.

Iraq and Afghanistan cost what was it couple of Trillion dollars with 55,000 dead or physically injured US service personnel and it achieved exactly what ?
In the 55,000 quoted this doesn't include the thousands who returned who will have ongoing mental issues to the end of their lives or those who took their own lives on returning or the impact on their families.

But never mind the MIC will still fund US elections.
