Ding ding ding! People say the US wastes money on defense; it doesn’t. The cost is the point. The MIC is just a fat fuckin straw for sucking up money into publicly traded companies, I.e. the stock market.

What better way to fight your enemies than selling them all armaments and watch them go at each other’s throat.

That was the Iraq-Iran War. We sold weapons to both sides, and then said: “Hey! You gonna let that guy say that about you?” and just sat back.
