    The Air Force must grow its operational squadrons by some 25 percent in the coming years, officials say, to deal with the growing military might of China and Russia and to protect the homeland and continue to fight violent extremists.https://n.pr/2NhKxwK

        Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. – D. Eisenhower

        Horseshit. This is just rationalizing to give more of tRUMP’s tax-deception dollars to war making

        The world’s largest air force is the USAF. Second is US Navy. Fifth is US Army. So obviously it needs to be boosted. 🙄

        Um, no. They're not promoting anything. They are reporting a news story. They are serving the public by telling us how the government wants to use our tax dollars. That's literally their job. Jesus. Fucking millennials, I swear.

        Your the richest nation on Earth, but you have a big homelessness problem and healthcare problem, you seem to think offering free healthcare is socialist. I would have thought looking after your own people’s healthcare was a noble thing, Eisenhower warned of the military complex
