another quid pro quo?

The general belief is that those in military service are fighting to preserve the ”Homeland”, a term that bothers me slightly as it has a fascist ring to it that ”our country” doesn’t, and we thank them for their service because they face death for those of us who are back home and we want them  know we appreciate that.

We see an honorable dignity in what they do.

Last week, however, Trump revealed a changed to the nature of our armed forces when he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that along with his positive relationship with Saudi Arabia, that country is paying to use American troops.

“Saudi Arabia is paying us for [our troops]. We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia. I said, listen, you’re a very rich country. You want more troops? I’m going to send them to you, but you’ve got to pay us. They’re paying us. They’ve already deposited $1 billion in the bank.”

It’s as if they are tools at his disposal that he can rent out to his friends.

This means they are not necessarily fighting for the homeland, but are being rented out to another country to fight their war(s), regardless the reason for it, and they must remain for the length of time the payment covers.

The standard business arrangement.

Why should a country that has money and a good relationship with us, or more specifically Trump, send their youth off to war when they can pay us to do it, as our troops continue to get their regular pay while the country makes money off of them?

Trump is using our troops as mercenaries.

 “We are going to help them, but these rich countries have to pay for it. South Korea gave us $500 million… I said, ‘You gotta help us along. We have 32,000 soldiers in South Korea protecting you from North Korea. You’ve gotta pay.’”

Representative Justin Amish a conservative who recently left the Republican Party, tweeted the succinct,

“He sells troops.”

Renting our military for the use of other countries goes contrary to Trump’s campaign promise to bring the troops home, as moving them to a new location, for a price, doesn’t actually do that.

And think of the convenience to the renter. They get fresh troops in good condition and send them home as-is when their usefulness is over either individually or as a group.
