It all goes to the fucking profit margins of these incredibly greedy war contractors - Halliburton, KBR, Boeing, Raytheon, you name it. We live in an economy driven by war - we should be locking up and investigating thesr scumbags for war crimes and until we do nothing is going to change. It's truly disgusting that all our social safety nets are crumbling but we can always find $700 billion a year for more war. We truly are run by insane psychopaths.
