I’m all for cutting military spending, but this is not the spot to cut. Stop ordering Jets nobody wants, Armored Personnel Carriers that don’t safely meet the role, and bullshit other places that spend when they are unneeded. Soldier benefits are necessary.
Things liberals care about: Project 2025, Trump impolite, Biden have bad debate
Things liberals don’t care about: Biden’s genocide in Palestine, Biden caging children at the border with Mexico, Biden doing eugenics by ending all covid protections, Biden abandoning trans people, Biden doing nothing to protect abortion rights, Biden refusing to do anything about inflation because his corporate puppet masters benefit from it, Biden funding nazis in Ukraine and attempting to start WW3 with China,
I love the Biden cages thing. It shows how ignorant people are because they only read headlines. Every president detains unaccompanied minors. Are you saying you’d rather us leave children alone in a dessert? What we do is pick them up and house them until we find the closest relative in the USA. This is almost always done in <2 weeks. Please read the article and not just the headlines.
Edit: yes, there was a surge where kids were briefly detained outdoors while they were being transitioned to a more stable housing situation (while we still searched for relatives).
If every president cages children, doesn’t that mean that the USA is fundamentally evil and should cease to exist?
The less evil option is to let them die alone in a fucking desert? That’s really the hill you want to die on? Letting kids wander around alone in deserts instead of helping them?
I wouldn’t be surprised if half the reason we don’t have higher-ed reform is because of that. If college were free or even affordable, nearly nobody would go to the military.
Hell part of why we got so entrenched in Vietnam was because our economy couldn’t find room for all the grownup boomer kids. So just institute a draft and send them off to the jungle to die instead.
Troops… Or, as Trump calls them, “suckers”.
I hate trump but he’s honestly right here. Imagine signing up to join the military to murder brown children overseas in order to further enrich american corporations.
Republicans hate the soldiers
