A factoid stuck in my brain from, "The War"... [View All]

[Javaman]

From Ken Burns, "the war" documentary, stated that the cost of WWII in todays dollars would be roughly 3 trillion dollars.

that was the cost of fighting a war on two fronts over the entire global with US industry pumping out war materials 24/7 and the entire nation mobilized.

Think about about that for a second.

Now here we are today, moron* has pissed away almost 1 trillion on Iraq and what if anything do we have to show for it?

a trillion fucking dollars!!! We should have a won in that ONE nation a looooooong time ago, right???

if anyone tells me this fucking war isn't about oil and isn't about stealing our money to the rich can get richer, I'm going to kick them in the teeth.
