The U.S. taxpayer? We just get the bill - plus $5 a-gallon gas if things go south.

By this time next year, the 2019 Trump will look like a statesman compared to what he'll be like by then.

I mean, can you imagine? That beast, with elections just three weeks away!?

Then again, he may not be president by then. We'll see.

So much for his lip service about getting the military out of pointless wars in the Middle East.

Or more like mercenaries?

Has he set the rate? Where is the cash going?

I am gobsmacked. Selling American Soldiers like they were Mercenaries??? Is that all America is good for any more? Selling war?

Not to even mention that 16 of the 19 Hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi. Osama bin Laden was Saudi.

This is so surreal. 1984. Upside-down world. I'm losing my mind.,

So our young soldiers can put their lives on the line and die to make a buck for Trump.
