Military cuts/misdirected outrage



Last nite I was reading on FB about the projected cuts in the military and I was overwhelmed at how out of touch the service members and their wives were it was” un-fucking believe able”. The Vented their anger at…….wait for it…………….the poor people on welfare “face plant” They went on about how the welfare people need to take a cut and not the military, as if the military cuts go directly to the poor…SMH. They went on and on about military family being on foot-stamps and barely being able to feed their family which I know for a fact that this is true, how every the poor are not the people to be venting at, the poor don’t create policy, nobody gives a shit about the poor. The very ones they should be mad at were never even mentioned, the millionaires on the hill create these policies, they send people off to wars, they under funds VA hospitals they lobby for billion dollar contracts and rep all the benefits who doesn’t know that?
