No amount of military equipment is worth shit if there’s nobody to operate them. What kind of loyalty does it inspire when the state will just abandon people because they were unwilling to consider other ways of funding the military? This isn’t America, Land of the Masochists.

Right, buying F-35s is worth letting EU citizens starve or die from preventable diseases. Got it.

What a shit take.
