I think it is obvious that there are those in Washington who want another war. They loved the ones we had in Iraq and Afghanistan, probably made money off them, and then really wanted us to get involved in the Syrian civil war.
Probably would make more money from connections to arms manufacturers if we were involved.
They got frustrated when that didn’t happen.
They aren’t supporters of any diplomacy that could keep Iran from having a nuclear bomb, and they cheer for Israel which also does not want a diplomatic agreement, but seems intent on having a war the United States will be dragged into.
We have spent over $6 trillion so far on the two wars in the Middle East, and that cost does not include the ignored cost of 4,439 dead in Iraq and 2,150 dead in Afgahnistan, with over 30,000 wounded in Iraq and around 18,000 wounded in Afghanistan. There are over 100,000 returning troops suffering from PTSD, and over 200,000 coming home with traumatic brain Injury. Among the wounded, close to 2,000 have had some form of amputation.
And when they come home and the uniforms are taken off, they do not get the ovations they had received when they got on a plane, bus, or attended some sporting event in uniform, and aren’t on the news because of a video of their surprise return home with some child practically soiling themselves with joy. While the debates as to who supports the troops more, with flag waving and patriotic platitudes being the benchmarks, rage on making the home front feel less guilty about our indifference to the conditions they face during deployment, and they look like any other homeless, nameless person, and can’t find jobs, have it difficult returning to civilian life, or commit suicide at a rate close to 22 a day, they are finished. They become invisible.
Oh, and after putting themselves in harm’s way, they come home and become a financial burden on the United States. Isn’t that why we cut their benefits, fight having job-training programs, cut food stamps, and discuss ways to cut funding for the VA?

We love them when we can use them, and resent that they came home and cost us to help them.
Just too many are still around.
What we have now is a glut of military personnel, but the possibility of more wars to send them to.
We cleaned the process up by throwing out the term “cannon fodder”, which implies possible human death, and replacing it with “Boots on the ground”, which removes humanity. Boots don’t die; the people wearing them do. Don’t refer to the people and it’s easier to handle.
And as long as we say patriotic things, wave flags, recite platitudes, and avoid their humanity, it is easy to send the military off to fight a war, and that way we can keep them busy and no have to face the cost of paying them back when they return home.
Maybe with the next war we will be luckier. We will get more oil and have less people coming home.
Yeah, it sounds harsh, but why is Washington always looking for a war to fight, and “reasons” to cut what is needed to help the troops returning home?
