How many Trillions of Dollars is the FedGov going to waste on wars (Financial District)
According to a January 2015 report, the United States of America was (and most likely, still is) at war with at least 14 countries, listed here:
Afghanistan
Iraq
Syria
Somalia
Yemen
Cuba
Niger
Chad
Uganda
Egypt
Jordan
Kosovo
Central African Republic
and
Tunisia
Some believe that the pro-war cheerleaders of the United States political, business, and military apparatus will, if allowed to, soon have us at war with:
Iran,
and
possibly North Korea.
Overlooking for a moment the ridiculous $1 trillion dollars spent every year on the military in the United States of America (which is quickly bankrupting the country), these ongoing wars are making us new enemies every day, making us less, (not more) safe.
Worst of all, if the wars continue to expand at the rate they have been, there is the possibility that the Federal Government could re-institute the "draft", demanding that all able bodied men between the ages of 18 to 45 register to be unwillingly sent off to fight, kill, and maybe even be gravely wounded or killed themselves, just to preserve some insane notion of political, economic, or religious "supremacy".
Do these warmongering policies adhered to by our Federal Government really make any sense?
If we really want to put a stop to these ridiculous wars, and preserve the lives of our young men (and maybe even women) it is imperative that we continue to write, call, and email the President, our elected representatives in both houses of the United States Congress, (and particularly the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, and the Speaker of the House).

If enough of us concerned Americans voice and express our objections to the continuation and expansion of these ridiculous wars, then the sooner they will be brought to an end, and our loved ones (and their, and our, lives and wallets), will be.
