@Zaphod42 Just Like the Israelies

@Zaphod42

(rolling eyes) The excuse that the weapons are made in the US and the money spent here is a bit shallow. It's kind of like saying that bank robbery isn't so bad because the robbers will spend they money they take in the local community :)

There's a whole other side of this when considering opportunity cost. Like how much of our economy is now based on military weaponry for someone else? Like what else could all those skilled military industrial workers be doing? How about repairing our crumbling infrastructure? Or high speed rail? Maybe make US manufacturing competitive again?

@jshm2 So funny seeing Democrats now championing the military industrial complex :)

@StephieThanks. Last I checked, a billion is a thousand million. and a trillion is a thousand billion. I didn't factor in the illegals, and I confessed to estimating. Also made some adjustment for the debt stacked ahead of what was what was borrowed, and the accumulated interest. Sorry :)

FWIW, the US census counts everyone, not just US citizens, and there is no question in the census process of whether one is or isn’t a citizen. So the number of illegals in the US is uncertain. A good estimate is 20 to 30 million. So let me modify that $1,000 to say “about $1,000 for every man, woman and child who is a US citizen.”

@Stephie Well his health is declining however if he had to be involved perhaps the Holy Trinity would step in and replace the handguns with these.

@Gibbon What? no earmuffs? Yet another case of future tinnitus and the tax payer will have to jump in 🤨

@Stephie He might have plugs. That's what I use. The problem with this is that it's so awesome even anti-gun people go "Holy crap I want one" Lol.

@Theyitis
No, but I did. I was an advisor and flight instructor to the VNAF and had a ring side seat to the US betrayal of both the Vietnamese people and the American people. All based on a lie. I have no issue with anyone who avoided military service then.
