Mike Luke: We waste blood & treasure on unnecessary conflict

The current US foreign policy does not keep us safe! The highest cost is on us as a people. Look what we have allowed to be done to our loyal soldiers. While we waste treasure on unnecessary conflict look at the blood that has been shed. We have allowed our government to put our loyal servants into a no win situation that has needlessly taken their lives or permanently injured them physically and psychologically. We have allowed our government to misuse, abuse and neglect our loyal soldiers.
