I wont laugh or emoji laugh. Damn sad. And a damn shame that "a party" or "a person" should shoulder the blame for a century of pumping money into bombs and guns instead of food and teachers.
And I would like to add, along the same lines.....
That it is pretty sad when athletes get paid MILLIONS of dollars, where as our teachers/police get paid minimum.
That has always been a pet peeve of ours....that football/baseball/basketball players get paid astronomical amounts of money.
While people who do their best to better our kids education and provide safety to our communities get paid squat.
As for the military, it is what it is.
Now a days, with things being so unstable around the globe, having a strong military may not be a bad thing.
But yeah, pretty sad when young kids of today do not know basic arithmetic.
And no, using the smartphone does not count. smh.
Which, BTW I think is partly to blame.
Kids do not need to 'think' when they have technology do it for them at their fingertips. Literally.
