War games are expensive? So too is a military that spends more per year than the next 10 countries combined (and that includes spending several times more than Russia and China and Iran and North Korea combined).

The military is expensive, but you signed into law a massive spending hike for the military. Didn’t see you bitching about that. Military exercises are how the military prepares for potential future conflicts. It’s what they do. They need to do those to make sure they are ready if and when called upon.

Flying long distance missions is what the USAF does. It’s how we’ve done it for decades. The two gulf wars included long duration missions with flights starting from bases within the US and ending over Iraq. We had missions in Afghanistan launched from the US as well. Only a know nothing like Trump would make this argument.

Only know nothing supporters like Trumpworld would believe this claptrap - and that’s why he keeps repeating this nonsense.
