Told our troops that went to die for us with an Afghan enemy , with mass destructive weapons against us, shooting back at us, were told “you go to war with what you have”. Totally under funded.
They were sent to war without vests, ammo, armor plates on vehicles. Family sent their children vest to save their lives.
But These assholes are given a limitless credit card to kill our civilians right here on our soul.
They have burned through hundreds of billions in less than a year, for everything they dream of, with stays at Hilton’s, SUV’s, trucks and not a single thug without a vest and the finest of weapons. Plus 2 jets for Barbie.
To kill Americans and children. Fuck those 7 to hell.
