Education

Hey kids, this is what a bloated and faulty defense program looks like. And if the flow of pork and graft is allowed too continue, you may be paying for this obsolete junk well into your retirement.

The tour comes with some additional benefits:

“Why do the other countries hate us?” one of the children asked during the ensuing presentation.

“Some of the other countries don’t like how we are free,” Tech Sgt. Amy Burgess said. “In some places, girls aren’t even allowed to go to school. Can you imagine that?”

Here is something more to imagine kids. Billions of U.S. tax payer dollars go to prop up these countries that have terrible records on women's rights, free-speech and so on.

And they still hate us.

Class dismissed.

“Some of the other countries don’t like how we are free,”

That's one of the dumbest memes that came from the US in recent years.
Guess what? Almsot nobody on the European continent buys into this and if you tell one on the streets that many Americans believe this the reaction would at best be a shaking of the head.

It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance to ignore how much the US has annoyed (and worse) large groups of foreign people.

There's no repercussion for this in the UNSC, which doesn't mean there's no blowback at all...
