Ted Lieu reminds Trump that the U.S. Military is not a for hire, "for profit" mercenary outfit.

Ted Lieu
@tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: The U.S. military is not a mercenary operation.

Also, you kept telling the American people that we need to get out of endless wars in the Middle East. You just increased our troop presence.

Also, how are your business interests doing in Turkey & Saudi?
