    If you stop funding your army, then soon you will fund enemy’s army while starving.

    We better compare ending hunger costs to UN costs.

      Calm down sun tzu. I think the military can drop a few percentage points in funding to feed people. No idea why you’re bringing in the UN like it’s some kind of gotcha.

      “I must be the oppressor or I will become the oppressed” is some fucked up logic I hope you are never on the receiving end of.

      The demand narrative of the military is historically linked to the idea of land ownership.
