2020 AR Senatorial race: on War & Peace


Dan Whitfield: Bring troops home; stop destabilizing foreign governments

No More Foreign Wars! What we need to do is bring all our troops home and stop destabilizing foreign governments, which in the long run makes regions worse for their inhabitants while creating terrorists that hate America. We spend on average around $3 billion dollars PER DAY on war. Most of this money does not go to our troops, but to defense contractor companies whom are mostly owned by ex-legislators. They use these defense companies and wars to funnel tax dollars into their pockets.

Dan Whitfield: America has been in the business of war for far too long

We have been at war with foreign nations for the last 222 out of 239 years. What we need to do is bring all our troops home and stop destabilizing foreign governments, which in the long run makes regions worse for their inhabitants while creating terrorists that hate America.

We spend on average around $3 billion dollars PER DAY on war. Most of this money does not go to our troops, but to defense contractor companies whom are mostly owned by ex-legislators.
