Things in Afghanistan are starting to wind down and it seems that our leaders and the big business leaders that call the shots are looking for more places to utilize the military complex that we've built up.
I think that it used to be the case. I believe that we have now overextended ourselves with too many "small" wars that may just be bankrupting our economy. A billion dollars is an inconceivable number to me and yet to a politician it is just the cost of one or maybe two, small high-tech, weapons.
They say there is nothing like a war to get the economy going. I'm sure that is no consolation to those who sacrifice family members in that war.
