Sorry about all the broken veterans with TBIs. We could have invested in better healthcare infrastructure, TBI treatment research even better armor and helmets for our troopers dealing routinely with IEDs. But instead we got experimental tanks with active camo, a shitty plane which we’re phasing out and aid to Israel to perpetuate their ancient religious genocide program.
It’s just that US soldiers are poor and expendible and people with money tell us who and what is important.
Accurate except for the “instead” part. Road maintenance comes from local taxes, whereas military aid comes from federal taxes.

Except the feds also feed money back to the states to be used on things like roads.
Unless you have the wrong drinking age in your state.
Underrated comment here. Federal road funding in the US was used to strong arm States into having a common drinking age.
