Americans were stunned by the hell of 9/11. In response the U.S. subsequently invaded and continues to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq and is fighting "covert" wars elsewhere. It is producing military weaponry and delivery systems at a staggering pace. And it set-up and operates the Dept. of Homeland Security at great expense as well.
In the last 10 years, the U.S. Pentagon spent nearly $8 trillion and it will race right by that massive number without slowing down. And it is all at U.S. taxpayer expense. If you are an American did you get your money's worth? Are you safer?
