Yeah, this a little bit of the same ol' wine in a brand new bottle.  For a long time we've thrown a lot of money into various military interests and we've also heard a lot of complaints that we have Americans going without while we sink nearly fictitious amounts of money into other countries. It's easier to call it a necessary defense expenditure when we have boots on the ground, though.

If we completely regress we can hear Biden tell us that no price is too great because we gotta fight 'em over there so we don't have to fight 'em over here.
