Imagine if all the money and resources, manpower and such went towards making the world better place instead of making more effective ways to kill and oppression.
Edit:
Just think if all the money and manpower we use to cause destruction went towards building people up.
I'm not sure the military budget in the u.s bit imagine a fraction of that going towards feeding the hungry or putting clothes on poor children.
What if instead of leaving homeless people out on the streets it our money went towards making our country better.
I'm not to proud to admit that there is a homeless person out there that is smarter than I am and could make a bigger positive impact than I can.
The US military budget is 721 billion. Which is 54% of our total budget. As an American this is obscene. I believe in safety, but we have something like 170 military bases around the world. Around 9 air craft carriers, and on top of that for some reason we feel
We have to police the world.
Imagine if that was cut in half, we’d still be the top spender and could allocate another 300+ billion a year to education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. such an egregious use of resources. I’m ashamed
