I Really Wonder If Our Soldiers Are Serving Or Dying In Vain With This Crowd In Office.

What are we now defending with a murderous administration in office and a GOP in power right now. They will not take care of our wounded nor truly honor our dead except as a PR tool. And soldiers serving will come out to be victimized again by a trickle down economy. Somehow dying to protect rich people seems pointless.

Don't think they are dying for the rich, and certainly signed up for service long before Trump took office.

The last war that was justified was WWII, and the US didn’t want to get into the European side for a very long time. In the Pacific we were actually attacked which also justified going to war.
