Ranting to The Locals on Facebook

From time to time I tend to speal on my social network account, this is what it is today:



Number Of Iraqui's Killed In US War And Occupation Of Iraq "1,421,933".
Number Of American's Killed In US War And Occupation of Iraq "4,409".
The Cost of War Since 2001: 1,443,373,850,000 (as of time recorded)
Children Under 18 Living in Poverty (2013): 16,000+

1.4 TRILLION spent on WAR divided by 16,000 Hungry Children: 90,273,365

The total amount of money spent on war could of eradicated poverty from society.

90,273,365, (90 MILLION) Just 1 million of that could feed 1 hobo for life.
And the other 89 million could be spent on medical research, education, new businesses and jobs, ETC. But the government would rather spend it on decreasing the Muslim population while having american troops do it for them blindly..

There's only one way to solve this "Fake" war on terror:
Get the F out of the Middle East, and spend money on important things.
Like National Defense for one. How is it that a few Muslims with box-cutters and lap-tops living in a cave pull off one of the biggest attacks in U.S. History? Not to mention getting by one of the most protected borders in the world without us shooting them down? I can understand why people think it's a conspiracy. It's because in reality our money is being spent in 170+ countries where our military is stationed to fuel our government's power scheme headed by top bankers who bought out the 3 branches long before we we're taught about it in history class. We should be spending it on our NATIONAL DEFENSE.

1.4 TRILLION DOLLARS ON THIS WAR COULD OF BEEN SPENT ON INCREASING OUR DEFENSE .. IF THAT WE"RE THE CASE 9/11 WOULD OF NEVER HAPPENED.

Should strap helmets to there heads and send them out to fight for there own sadistic power hungry greed wars. MOST WARS we've ever had was between 100 powerful people who we're to lazy and evil to fight for themselves. This country is not what it seems.. It's to late anyways.. Prepare for HELL it's coming soon to a town near you.

No revolution will be televised because publicity will fuel it. They don't want that.. Internet seem's like the only salvation for actual reliable sources for information. There agenda is a fire that needs fuel.. There fuel is there you blindly believing what they say. Mis-information/Dis-information/Propaganda Etc..

I'm done trying to convince people and sounding like a wacko. The facts are all there.
I'll just watch as this f***** system collapses under our feet, don't cry when you have no ground left to stand on. You've been told over and over but continue to eat the poison that they feed you.

I can't really add anything to your post, except my complete agreement. We, [ the US ] are spending way too much in the wrong places, for the wrong reasons. But, I'm just a citizen of the United States, my opinion, like my vote, doesn't count.

If you made this into a "meme" people on Facebook might actually read it. A lot of FB users don't care about what's going on around them, and when everything completely disintegrates...they'll be complaining and wondering what happened.

The monetary aspect is a very superficial uninformed angle of the war. (The deaths, yes, you have a point there.)

But, wars are profitable, not just for the contractors and military involved. Consider, all the people employed by these agencies, which their money is going back into the economy.

That's a minor one.

Now...

Consider the contracts awarded to US firms for rebuilding Iraq. Rebuilding all those places bombed to # by American ordinance that was maid and paid for in the US (For the most part.)

Then... Consider the oil contracts given back to US companies once they stabilized the country.

The amount of money if you were able to add it all up (I'm sure the numbers are hard to get) might show the war to be an investment more than anything...

Dwight Eisenhower tried to warn us. Nobody listened. Nobody cared.

So, here we are today.

911 happened before the war so I do not see how you could take the money from the war and prevent 911. In particular because we all know the mind set at the time was if someone gets on a plane and says the have a bomb then you do what they say and the plane lands some where and everybody is safe. Back then you could walk on a plane with a bag and say you had a bomb and people who do what you told them because hijacking were pretty common and rarely was anybody hurt as long as you let them fly where they wanted and make whatever statement you wanted. Of course now they are rare because of 911 people figure they will die one way or the other so taking plane now is near impossible. And of course we all know the Iraq war was not a part of the war on terror. Although it did keep us fighting people who would prefer to hit the US directly fighting us in Iraq instead. That was an unexpected plus to the war. Better to fight them over there than over here, which is why the US is spread across the globe. Instead of fighting massive world wars the US prefers to fight smaller regional wars.

I have stopped ranting on Facebook. It is pointless and really just causes you to lose friends. Haha

Just a question! Is the figure of 16,000 under 18 year olds living in poverty correct?

I was a bit sceptical considering the population of the US so I did a search and saw one quote in which it states that in 2013 16.7 million children are living in "food poverty" I believe they called it! Now there may be a huge difference between "living in poverty" and "food poverty" but 16,000 seems very low!

A meme is a great idea! Keep all of the spelling and grammatical atrocities though so our younger generation can understand it

Yeah to be honest I threw all that together in 10 minutes.. So that source must be off. The point still stands though haha. I'm sure everyone here had there 3 paragraph f the system rant in there days.

I agree, the point is VERY valid and this is happening all over not just in the United States!

Here where I am the government has us involved in the war in the "Democratic" (questionable) Republic of Congo and other conflict situations in Africa, this is not our war and the we the people cannot afford for us to be involved. Unfortunately for us this is not the only financial debacle our government has going, they have bailed our national airline out to the tune of billions, I don't think they have made a profit since their inception and they continue to make a loss every year but continue to "upgrade" the fleet every so often and this in a country which has a population of around 2 million people. The elites continue to line their pockets and we the people are having to dock up more every day to cover their ever increasing reckless spending! But you can be sure that our government is quite prepared to stand with outstretched cupped hands to other western nations WHO OBLIGE!
