Uh-huh...Â* We MAGA yet?

We were far "great" before the last 4 presidents mired us in
unwinnable wars against Islam.



You think it was a mistake to go after al-Qaeda, ISIS and other
terrorist organizations?

I don't recall any past president waging a war against Islam.




For whatever reasons you may wish to cite, this country has not won a
war against a large, seriously militarized opponent since WWII. We have,
of course, won against dip**** countries like Panama, Iraq, Grenada. If
we get into a war with the Russians or the PRC, and neither side
unleashes nukes, I'm not sure we'd win against them, either. And if
nukes are unleashed, no one wins. Which leads to the question of why do
we waste so much $$$ on a military that likely will not be used in any
large-scale war. If we had used half or more of the money wasted on the
military the last 40 years on infrastructure instead, we'd have a
first-class country with a good electrical grid, railroads, roads, dams,
sewage, energy usage, and environment.

People will pay any amount for a perceived defense. If Trump really
wanted his wall, he should have had the Pentagon build it. $5Billion
would disappear in the couch cushions of the DoD budget.
