Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Afghanistan cost taxpayers $2.3 trillion. We got zilch in return.
They've trained us to think that it's weakness to have government social programs. Actually, it's social investment.

If the bottom half of Americans are the ones paying higher taxes, then it’s WE who have funded the government for 50+ years.
WE should have a say in what that funding goes to.
