MODERATORS
They know exactly where it went. Operation Freedom, abbreviated OF on the ledger...
it's worse than that, they don't know that they don't know. literally no one ever holds them to account, they've never been asked the question so why would they need the answer.
Congress also throws more money at them than they even ask for.
This is true, I believe the Pentagon requested 5.2 Bn increase but the defense spending bill increased their budget by 26 Bn.
Probably bcz the military has all the guns. Who exactly is supposed to hold the group accountable when they could just point a weapon at you and your entire family?
Actually the US civilians have 400-600 million guns, the military has 4.5 million. They do have all the bombs and infrastructure though.
And all the tanks, fighter jets, attack helicopters, warships…
And nobody ever mentions intelligence in these conversations. Only people truly off the grid are unknowns, or unknown gun owners.
The people handing them an endless supply of money?
