150,000! On our dime, and for what? To make the corporations RICHER!

And it's evil, to boot! These bottom-feeders are not bound by military law and we already know some of the satanic deeds they've done!

There is no excuse for this whatsoever. Anyone who defends this bullshit, along with the politicians who allow it, is part of the problem!
