It's possibly too far gone for the US..even if there was some sort of call to reduce the military machine, it'd no doubt get portrayed along the lines of losing rights similar to the 2nd amendment. The public would be easily duped...!

Generations in the US are now used to the disgusting budget spending on "defence" and constant conflicts. That seems to be the first place your tax dollars go.

As Bill Burr said at the start of the week when he read about the missle strike, it wasn't so much about the reason, it was basically "holy shit, how much is this gonna cost for another war...luckily, it was basically just a drive-by". The US addiction to war:- It's like trying to get a friend off the blackjack table at a casino when the cards have gone dry..."cmon buddy, you've got rent to pay"...funny, sad and true..!
