Jack Ma is exactly right.
We put a huge pile of money on the ground and lit it on fire killing a bunch of people in the process.
Maybe someone smarter than me can explain how this was a good idea but I just don't get it.

But it's still theft from the system and is a transfer of purchasing power from those who produce to those who do not. Or in case of military contractors, from those who produce to those who destroy. Professionally.
Have you seen the footage of bombing of ISIS cash dump with US currency flying out? Guess the pallets of dollars going over there for reconstruction was the source.
It's a waste. Waste of spending, waste of effort, waste of resources. The human effort and material spent on that endeavor could have done a lot for this country.
Also morality aside, if we are empire, if we are going to police the world, we are doing so in a very unsustainable fashion.
This is just what I can't help but see. Maybe I'm wrong. Not really trying to argue but damn, this a big elephant of wasteful effort and resource allocation.
