If You Think Ukraine is Actually PAYING for All the US Weapons and Ammo, Guess Again
I remember before I retired from the Marine Corps, two specific and significant instances during the regime of Bubba Clinton;
-
We had to literally ‘pass around the hat’ amongst the officers and senior enlisted to buy toilet paper for the troops who lived in the barracks. The DoD (Department of Defense) actually ran out of money to buy toilet paper for the troops.
