Foolish Yankee spent $4.3 trillion on overseas adventurism since 2001.
Our militarism leaves us on the hook for a total $5.6 trillion in obligations by end of fiscal 2018.
The same corporations and landed elites that brought us Vietnam and other Southeast Asian wars of the 1960s and early 1970s have led us into this morass. It's a swamp -- our parents and grandparents failed to drain it, and we pass the conflicts and growing debts to our kids and grandchildren.
US Militarism is a massively frustrating waste of lives, money and human energy.
Investing in occupied territories around the world, does the typical American feel proud? Or do we feel cynically manipulated?
Our 1% Overclass laughs at commoners & continues to party hearty!
