Defense is like an insatiable blackhole, sucking continually

This really grinds my fucking gears. Keeping the populace safe is one thing, but waging war overseas to claim other people's resources is something else completely. It is reprehensible behavior.

War is the game of power played by the minority authoritarians, funded by the masses.

And the saddest part is there is no way out. Might makes right, and we are literally arming our government to be able to keep us paying its bills forever. Get me out of here!
