My cousin was in Iraq around 2006. He knows how corrupt the Pentagon is. My cousin witnessed their equipment being sold to foreign militants for basically nothing. They charge American tax payers $100 (which are you and me) for what would cost $20, then sell them in foreign black market for $10. In the whole process American people lose $120, Pentagon and their military contractors make $110, and foreign buyers make $10 profit.
I have full respect to our soldiers, but FUCK PENTAGON. The Pentagon is a massive money laundering machine. It's a giant scam against American people. They released a report last week claiming they can't beat China in an actual war while spending 4x the money of Chinese military. It was total BS.
The Pentagon is the Deep State. The people that control the Pentagon are all members of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR orders mainstream media on what to report and tech companies on what to censor.
Fuck Pentagon. This doesn't mean we don't love our military. This only means we hate the Deep State.
Our soldiers love Trump, but Pentagon doesn't. Trump is challenging their hundreds of billions of corruption, and this is the fundamental reason media will forever lie about President Trump.
Clean our military, please. We will back you, Mr. President.
"Ghost Soldiers" in Afghanistan. Existed only on paper. We paid for training feeding housing and equipping thousands of soldiers who never existed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke about this in his final address to the nation as President, at length. Look it up, it's a speech all Americans should hear. As relevant today as it was in the 1950s. Maybe more.
There is a reason the founding fathers of this nation did not want us to have a standing army.
All of our institutions have been taken over by the uniparty over the last several decades while they propped up and gave us bullshit candidates to choose from. Trump can start the process but even 8 years won't be enough to undo the damage they've done with lifetime bureaucrats that can't be easily removed.
This is our biggest problem beyond them cheating this election. Without a strong mainstream force to counter the election rigging, add to that importing pliable voters, we wont have a chance of winning a legit constitutionalist candidacy. Gonna have to keep it going with someone like Trump in 2024.
Can confirm.
I knew a sniper bro who was in Iraq around the same time. He said they basically traded or sold a ton of equipment to the locals. They offloaded ATV's, weapons, boots, uniforms, whatever. Some times they traded it for souvenirs to bring home or just sold it for cheap. They would just get new shit anyway so the US troops didn't care.
Tons of fraud, waste, and abuse. That should be the Pentagon's motto.
Cue President Dwight D. Eisenhower on his farewell address -
When I was in Iraq, we closed down COS Kalsu leaving hundreds of million dollars worth of equipment to the Iraqi army before convoying out at 0200. The place was swarmed with Iraqis taking everything that wasn't nailed down. It was basically the equivalent of a pack of dogs passing on everything to claim it. The Special Forces compound down the road had the same thing happen, they had a pool and very nice living quarters. Iraqis moved in and were tearing copper out of the walls, using the pool as a toilet, and basically sold/destroyed everything. Another commander on a different post saw this and decided "fuck that" - he had excavators dig a pit, pushed in all the equipment we weren't taking, and had it blown the fuck up before leaving. Balls out. Days later I heard they were breaking the concrete barrier walls to get the steel from inside.
0bama spun all that waste as saving the taxpayer dollars in shipping.
Trump has done so much in his first term.
Think about his second, where he can REALLY go all out.
We're all in for quite a show ;)
We bash the federal bureaucracy for being corrupt and inefficient but the Pentagon makes the bureaucracy look like child’s play in comparison. We could have colonized the Milky Way with all the money the Pentagon wastes.
It is a black hole for money. For one, we have thousands of nukes and never use them when the mountains of Afghanistan were a perfect nuke target if ever there was one.
Yup!
