And this is why we never have any money for investing in domestic programs to improve anything. If it's not Korea, it's Vietnam, if not Vietnam, it's Kosovo, if not Kosovo, it's Iraq, if not Iraq it's Afghanistan, if not Afghanistan, it's Ukraine. Have you ever questioned why there's always a new crisis that makes Raytheon execs rich, but mysteriously leaves nothing to spend on civilians here at home?

It's absolutely not the reason lol. The reason you can't invest in domestic programs like universal healthcare or post-secondary education financing reform is because half of your fellow Americans oppose it, and vote accordingly. Convincing others matters.
