@sumduma55 Complete nonsense. They're fighting because Ukraine has fought Imperial Russia and Bolshevik Russia in the past. This conflict has existed longer than politicians have and it's the culmination of the Russian imperial dream.

@sumduma55 The money has to be spent either way. Old stockpiles are dumped into the sea to make coral reefs, current equipment is stored, and new equipment is bought. New equipment has to be purchased every year. All the Ukraine conflict did was frontload purchases by a few years. Also, the rest of the money wasted goes to American workers, who then use that money to keep other American workers employed. Government spending is inefficient, but that's because of the economic calculation problem and the government does tend to make bad choices when picking stuff for the private sector. However, the govt doesn't have to calculate supply and demand for military gear. They are the demand. And there's no private US Army.

@rucker69 It's okay considering a bunch of 18-19 year olds will lose stuff over the course of a few years. Don't lose stuff, you don't pay. You just won't have the foresight as a young kid. My advice? Have the foresight anyway. Life's gonna kick you in the nads. Wear a cup.
