@jacobrogers2214 Ай бұрын

This was never the case. To attract high-caliber individuals to political offices, we need to make public service competitive with private sector opportunities to draw in talented individuals. Pay them a competitive salary. Otherwise we'll keep getting Gaetz and AOC. Along with that, all investments should be placed in blind trusts and ban all gifts to mitigate conflicts of interest, fostering a culture where decisions are made in the public's interest. You will get corrupt liars or inept PolySci kids if you keep it cheap and rely on the goodwill of the participant.

People don't understand the real economics, profits and profit makers of war. Much respect for Tulsi for relating her experiences.

@jjuhring1 Ай бұрын

Agreed, but it would be refreshing to hear a politician not have to lie about the numbers in order to make their point. For example, Halliburton is (and has been for decades) a publicly traded company. Their financials are open for all to see. At no time during the Iraq War did Halliburton ever earn anywhere near the "Trillions" of dollars quoted by Tulsi. In fact, the highest revenue year (2005) they only had a total revenue of $20B and net earnings of barely over 10% ($2.3B). A far cry from "making trillions of dollars". Was there a lot of overspending by the US Government? I'm sure there was. Were there Executives at Hal making millions? I'm sure they were. But exaggerating the numbers by a factor of 50+ makes you lose all credibility. Takes 10 minutes to look it up and get the facts straight.

@nowthisnamestaken Ай бұрын

@@jjuhring1 People that only talk about the cost of war never address that there are reasons that wars begin. Both sides are not always looking for profit. One side usually would like not to fight and defends their homes only. If the attackers break into that home Tusli thinks you should talk to them, negotiate. Perhaps they just want your money or to take your front yard. Negotiate. She sounds like a Bernie liberal.

There was a time when citizens were free to move between Gaza and West Bank, It was kind of self selection. In 1972, general exit orders were issued allowing residents of those territories to move freely between the West Bank, Israel, and the Gaza Strip. Following the First Intifada by 1991, the general exit orders were revoked, and personal exit permits were required.

What do you think is the best way we go about this? I agree. We should not be censoring everything.

Enlightening as to why things were so expensive. I was drafted into the Army (also a medic) at the close of Vietnam, starting pay $67/month and was always puzzled how Iraq could have been so expensive, even with large pay increases as the Army became all-volunteer, and even with the cost of equipment. It just never added up to me whenever the cost was stated to be in the trillion$. My family members who served in Iraq did have very highly negative views of KBR. I was surprised that when they came back, they frequently would say something like “it’s all about the money.”

I seen the same things, Tulsi described in Iraq that I did too. The KBR, the dining facility with all the Bangladeshi workers and what not. I think Tulsi may have been at BIAP the same time I was, but there are so many soldiers there, that I would likely not have recognized her anyway.

@nomadtv6009 Ай бұрын

The KBR Haliiburton industrial complex is the direct result or republican policies as were both wars prior to 911. Read Kinslers Crossing the Rubicon for the full on paper trail and realize just how deeply the inside job narrative goes when you follow the money. KBR in particular made billions from importing heroine, which was ultimately what Afghanistan and Iraq were mostly about. I have no love for the dysfunction of the democratic party, but compared to the pure evil that is the republican cadre, well it leaves little choice to those that have actually done their homework and who are truly anti war.

In this instant, Lex your guest has not once acknowledged that perhaps the military forces and the government who has sent her have used tactics of divisiveness, splitting communities; playing one set of people against an other and creating differences and fomenting hatred. The USA has so much potential for doing amazing things and yet the administrations seem to have succumbed to greed and control in any way necessary. I don't think anyone who genuinely believes that one day they would have to answer to their Creator would promote sleaze, cronyism and use war to make money for the companies donating funds to them.

Russia seems to do a better job for the regimes there at fighting them than the US or France, though recently the US has become more flexible at who it will let govern in the Sahel. She also seems to support Netanyahu which says enough for how much she's worth. Yeah she's right about Ukraine & was definitely right about Syria but that's not enough.

The most difficult thing, if you want to talk about peace, is finding a position from which it is possible to speak without being immediately closed down by those vested interests by being labelled as someone who can be ignored (peacnik, doesn't live in the real world, lives a comfortable life behind the line held by others, etc, etc). It's really hard to get to that place and here a woman who is firmly in that place and cannot even be attacked for being "unwomanly" because it was a caring role. Solid. This is such an unbelievably difficult set of things to bring together that it really should be valued very highly...these experiences, though painful, are solid gold for pursuing peace...and the comments (and the resistance she faces) bear that out. This experience is why she's *still* allowed to speak and hasn't already been closed down. I wonder if she is making more impact than she feels she is. One might consider whether the reason why these wars seem to inevitably expand into regime change is because regime change - that is the destruction and recreation of a state - is profitable. It is disaster capitalism. Every emergency that "must" be addressed just ends up being disaster capitalism - wars, covid, whatever the next thing is. The worse it gets, the more money they make and the money they have protects them from the consequences. Truth and reality. The problem with asking those on the left to stand up against the military industrial complex is that almost no-one will be able to occupy the same ground as Tulsi can. Those who grow up and pursue peace activities tend not to join the military, so the number who can find stable ground to challenge from is naturally going to be smaller. Maybe that's a pipeline that should be created and ex-military voices should be amplified...but again, that's more likely to be something the is generated from the right, not the left. It's just....we don't expect fish to climb trees.

For me there is no greater feeling than that. My father served, he did 4 tours in Vietnam and growing up looking at his medals I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps, as a child 5-6 years old looking at my father's medals I was proud cause my Dad was a Marine and he served Our Country, but I honored my mother's wish she begged me not to join the military she wasn't afraid of me being killed in action nor was I, she was afraid I wouldn't come back home the same person I left, she was afraid I'd come home and pull a Rambo it was funny then but now I know exactly what she meant, I'm disgusted to see what Biden and his administration has done to Our Country and I feel Biden is making all the sacrifices Our Fallen heroes all Our veterans and all those who serve have been done in vain and I want nothing more to see Biden and all those behind him kicked the hell out of Our House! And I say that politely out of respect for Ms Tulsi❣️ Ms Tulsi I wanna thank you for serving Our country I loved you before I knew you served now knowing u served Our Country I wanna marry you🌹❣️🤭😅 Thank you and Our Fallen, Our Veterans and those who still serve I now know why all of you did what you did!? Cause this Country is worth fighting for, as I wrote this the tears kept falling that's how much I love what all Our veterans did for this great country Thank you❤
