WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is pouring millions of dollars into equipment and training for its smaller partner nations in the Afghanistan war, a new effort that could encourage some countries not to abandon the increasingly unpopular conflict.

The money comes from a $350 million Pentagon program designed to improve the counterterrorism operations of U.S. allies.

1. Whatever the Pentasewer wants, the Pentasewer gets.

Such bullshit. This nation is in an economic malaise and these idiots still think it's feasible, sustainable and just to have the largest empire the Earth has ever seen, no matter WHAT the cost.

2. plenty of money for endless war, fuck the unemployed

they will die off in 20 or 30 years! After all let us not forget the business opportunities war creates! Profit Profit Profit!

I really thought there would be some sort of jobs program like FDRs CCC or WPA or any of the other programs to give some of us long term unemployed a f*ing chance.

I never thought our first Black president would be working for the MAN. The disappointment never seems to end.
