Oh look, some of what we bought instead of healthcare: a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber (cost: ~$2.1 billion, or roughly 210,000 Medicaid enrollees for one year). The secret is we can afford both defense and healthcare...if we raise the marginal tax rate (what the super rich pay) to previous levels.

Brilliant gambit: the U.S. will now allow Iran to hit some of what they shoot at because that will surely lead Iran to capitulation. It has nothing to do with the fact we are running of of air defense interceptors (that's exactly what it is).

Thankfully, the U.S. has nothing we want to defend from aerial attack outside of the area of our Central Command in the Middle East (for reference, in addition to 4 functional commands, the U.S. has 7 geographic commands, allies in all of them and almost all Americans all live under the alleged protection of Northern Command [hat tip to Michael for the clarification]).

Also, the Pentagon has removed some of the killed and wounded in action from their casualty count because: during the ceasefire, while everyone was still shooting at each other, they were on a break (hat tip to Shanna for the insight).

Ross on Friends tells people in Central Perk that they were on a break gif
Ross and Rachel clearly had a ceasefire framework MOU in place.

Plus, the "...Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire," mentions Representative Massie, and the clearly-not-flailing-admin goes even further, as Massie clarifies, by "...going more than 90 days without congressional authorization @SecWar IS BREAKING THE LAW." Which honestly is the Secretary of War Crimes's favorite pastime, outside of drinking and mistreating the women in his life (according to his mom).

We're clearly winning the war, and we have plenty of interceptors, but you wouldn't know them because they go to another school.
