We should be spending Afghanistan war money on U.S. health care, as nothing America has done in Afghanistan has reduced the threat of terrorism here at home. The militaryâÄôs budget is over-bloated. WeâÄôve extended our military forces to more and more countries in the world and spent billions of dollars for private contractors in both Iraq and Afghanistan, which amounts to nothing less than a paid mercenary army. A mercenary army funded by U.S. taxpayers without their approval. This insane waste of wealth has to stop and stop now. Send General McChrystal into retirement. Thomas Reese Daily reader
