Already there are reports that Trump’s Iran strikes killed dozens of innocent children? How many more will die? Millions were killed in Iraq, including our friends whose willingness to sacrifice for their nation was utterly betrayed while the people who sent us there got rich /2

If they want to focus on fraud, waste and abuse maybe they can figure out why the Pentagon has $500 Billion they don’t know what to do with? #sotu
