The funding increase that Davidson is seeking for his command -- not the total allocation -- is greater than the entire budget of the whole armed forces of Brazil.
The world's bad shit is always a mix of visible structural issues and nazis hiding in positions of power. Take police for example. Crime shows constructing black people as criminal, the effectiveness of "tough on drugs" as a campaign strategy, the failure of prisons to solve the social issues they try to address, intergenerational trauma, the generational wealth gap, and the law of capital's growth applying to the carceral industry are all true, but what's also true is that police unions are full of straight up nazis.
I think theres a lot of merit to the operation paperclip conspiracy theory. I think us policy can be explained as "literally lebensraum"
