Freedom is not free

How is it in America that we assert ourselves as a super power and meddle in affairs of other nations, but we marginalize and offer no aide to the people who are under the weight of home grown terrorism right here everyday? Where police refuse to do their jobs and people are allowed to have Tyrannical holds on communities with no back lash for decades.

What is often seen as meddling in the affairs of other Nations, is actually America's rent-a-soldier program at work. The US Government makes a ton of money off renting their military support to Nations around the world, like Saudi Arabia for example.

Right now, there are almost 3000 US Marines stationed in Saudi Arabia providing back-up security for Saudi's own security forces, but the US makes a million dollars a day from those rented Marines who just stand around and create a visual presence.

The reason the US doesn't focus on it's own domestic scene is because there's no money in it for the US Government.
