But when the Army needs more money for boots they're shit out of luck. Many generals retire to lucrative jobs on the boards of profiteering corporations, and the corrupt generals support the republicans to keep the gravy train rolling. A prime example of waste is Star Wars. For the price of this ineffective system, we could have three Army divisions and update port security and a lot of other things. The repugs do spend more but most of the money they spend ends up in CEO pockets, not in a grunt's ammo pouch.
