Leaving our troops to die

In Oct 2017 American special forces were on patrol deep in the Niger desert. The reason for their patrol was to find local affiliate bases. During this patrol, they were ambushed. The ambush was captured by one of the soldier's helmets by the time helicopters were able to come in and rescue them it was too late.

“ leave no man behind “is a motto that our military uses to leave no man behind it on that day American troops were left behind.

With the technology even in 2017 we have satalite, drones and many other advanced technology how do American troops get left behind.

This proves at times how little our political Leadership cares about our troops willing and unwilling

I think the big question is why were American troops there. You can easily say this is war without accountability.

This is also one of the many cases where American troops are at war out in the world with very little knowledge back in America.

During this time back in 2017 America was planning a mission to Mars, well American sons were bing slaughter by 50 dollar AK 47 in niger. Political leaders prioritize the needs of cooperative interest over the needs of our sons and daughters from Brooklyn, Detroit, and LA.

National Insecurity

At the end of the cold war, America has been the world's undisputed world superpower.

- Russia has an excellent amount of nuclur power they also have a 3rd world economy.

- China has a competitive economic strength over the united states it also has a 3rd world military.

No country can make warlike America making America the superpower of the world with this it does not come cheap.

America department of defense is the largest employer in the world. America spends more on military spending 700 billion dollars a year on the US military after you add in the military work done by the department energy and other parts of the gov. The real estimate on military spending is 1.2 trillion dollars every year.

There Was Hope

At the end of the cold war, there was hope that war was over we had been at war. There was hope we could begin to put money into education, health, infrastructure, farming. Which quickly went away when the peace dividend was broken when the US government took America back to war.

Sept, 11. President Bush “ The war on terror begins with al-Qaeda but it doesn’t stop there until every terrorist group of global reach is found and defeated “

After 9/11 president bush declared a national emergency where he had amplified the military forces available to him for overseas deployment at any given time.

The Elephant in the Room

Political leadership was largely dominated by individuals that had never served them selfs. This causes a huge problem because they view American troops as chess pieces on a board or a video game. Our sons and daughters are used as chess pieces to a game. This is by far the most disrespectful and inhuman thing that can be done to our country. The military was supposed to be used as a last resort it’s not supposed to be abused. The war on terror or any war, in general, becomes the same old process of shoveling massive amounts of money towards the military, towards spy agency which is good for Lockheed, Northrop, and Boeing firms.

“ War is not good for people. But it’s great for business “

Since 9/11 defense contractors have quadrupled on a massive level.

“ business as usual “

Bushes war on terror is a welfare program for the military-industrial complex the companies that supply what the American military needs. All the stuff that is built for use is actually of little use to our troops that are on the frontline. Billions of taxpayers dollars are dumped into weapon systems like the F35 that even the American military would say they don’t need or don’t want the contractors to continue to push each of these costs 1 million dollars on the other side taxpayers are paying a little over 1 trillion dollars. All that for a piece of equipment that is delayed, fails to meet objectives, over budget on multiple scales. Taking a regular person or even an American soldier that continued to show up late, never got anything done they would be kicked out of any job military or civilian.

The Everlasting Truth

Healthcare

Education

The Infrastructure

All the things We are failing at being placed on the back burner they become disposable because American people have to start sacrificing there well beings in the face of an opponent.

The opponent

If we stop and ask who are we fighting why does it continue to change? Why are we still fighting? For year’s now American sons and daughter are killed on enemy lines due to faulty equipment and technology or they were blindly sent into unseen ambushes because 1 trillion dollars of taxpayers money is spent on an f35 that is delayed, faulty, and may never be ready or work for the troops on the front lines instead of being spent on intel so our troops don’t walk in situations blindly.

Americans sacrifice their well being to fund a war on terror that has made our health department, infrastructure, and our children’s education disposable. “ war is not good for people but it sure is good for business “ our political leaders priorities American troops and citizens last well firms that supply our military with contracts like the f35. The F35 doesn’t run properly and the program cost 1 trillion dollars to make and being sold at 1 million dollars. This is all to fight a war on terror where the enemy is always changing and American troops are being walked into death traps using old technology or technology that delays or is faulty. Not one single person of power has been held accountable.

Political power has failed to keep American people safe. With political leaders using American troops like chess pieces to a game and destroying American citizens well being providing a less than average healthcare system. A below average education system and an infrastructure that couldn’t stay up even against the most simplest hack. At the end of the day it seems we can be on the same page and come to relization American leaders are not protecting or upholding our Constitution. They are willing or unwilling putting us in life or death situations and not being held accountable.

“ our children are everything. Change is more demanding now than every. If we don’t seek change our children will forever reap the benefits. “
