    I just hate that more of it goes to causing conflicts in nations thousands of miles away, instead of providing affordable healthcare for people who are paying the taxes.

      It really depends. Ukraine right now for example is fighting for it’s existence and greatly appreciates our weapons. And many new systems may never be used other than as a deterrent for nations like China against getting any ideas about Tiwan. But US has definitely had useless and unjust wars, sometimes kinda colonial.
