Anti-War News
The article I found interesting on the anti-war website reported on how the Pentagon took money for COVID relief and spent that money on more weapons.
According to the article, the money given to the Pentagon was used to make jet engines, drone flight controllers, and uniforms for the military. This money was supposed to be used on companies that make N-95 masks, ventilators, Personal Protective Equipment, and much more.
They spent 1 billion dollars on military weapons when they were supposed to spend it to help save the lives of many Americans. The article also explains how the US Postal Service was going to send five masks to every household but the White House shut that idea down.
I think stories like this are not heard in mainstream media because America likes viewing itself as a hero to other countries, so if we are off fighting wars to "help" other countries we are the good guys, when in actuality we are just making things worse. The anti-war idea makes it seem like the authors hate being American when in reality they are just trying to spread news that is hidden by many news sources.
