    But, um, the first national free lunch programs were started in this country because when WWII started, the government found that the post-Great-Depression populace was so stunted from malnourishment that there was concern about recruiting enough eligible soldiers. So, does this mean Republicans no longer want a military? No more sending poor people to fight their wars?

      I think it’s more of that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. AKA ignorance and lack of empathy.

      Edit: “repeated” to “repeat it”.

      Why would foreign agents want us to have a strong military?

      If that is the case, this is a very pacifist move by the republicans. Kudos! Finally someone looking out for the peoples interests instead of corporate/military complex.

      They’re trying to get rid of the they/them army and replace them with… uhhh… IDK that’s where my theory breaks down (probably because Republicans don’t normally make sense)

        Yeah, the party with Donald Trump and Chris Christie in it are really trying hard to fight obesity.

            What does that even mean? When did I claim to have a tough life?

              You have virtually no sense of humour. That’s sad.
