Can't the world leaders just duke it out in a ring?

When Milley talks it feels like I am playing a Call of Duty game and am about to be parachuted into some island in the Pacific rather than Normandy.

This is not what I want to see in my lifetime.

I really hope the average person realizes that this “budget” isn’t funding the front lines of the troops, it’s funds the billions in contracts for contractor companies that profit off of war

I love how governments play games and the rest of the world’s population is left as pawns easily thrown away!

Thanks a lot United States national nightly news for not reporting this. I guess the citizens have no say in this, because we aren't told about it. It's like they are told not to report it.

are they going to borrow this money from China too?

“Got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor”

There’s this little voice in his head: “we want more money, fix it!”.

If they want to protect "American" people, they need to make peace not war😂

The DOD should be renamed to the Dept. of Offense because a war in China doesn't sound like "defense" to me.

Thank you to everyone who voted for Joe Biden and contributed to this madness.

The real definition of "Warlike People".

They should stop giving money to Ukraine. And save the money for US!!

[HH-ycoz]

Don’t say it’s for “national” security. It’s for “international” security. We don’t need to invest more in our military if we didn’t care to venture halfway across the world.

[Keirfey]

Not sure how we expect to keep a military when all the benefits of joining have been stripped away. Who is going to defend anything if there are no troops?

[galacticfederationhealers]

No war take care of our people first ..our people are homeless on the streets ..stop the killing this money could easily feed and house our citizens

The High class people declared war midclass pays for it and low class fights the war.

China is destroying the US economically and socially. The US is destroying itself internally. They Chinese don't need to go into a military warfare with US to win 😂😂
