The U.S. has been at war all but about 20 years of it's history. If there is one thing we always have time for it's war. If there is no place for it, why are we spending $777 of our tax dollars on our war budget? The U.S. thrives on war. We even eliminated the draft so there are no longer anti-war protests. During Vietnam there were protests across the nation on every university campus. We just spent 20 years in Afghanistan without a whimper of protest.
