The United States spends $20.2 billion annually on air conditioning for troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan — more than NASA's entire budget, NPR reported.
In fact, the same amount of money that keeps soldiers cool is the amount the G-8 has committed to helping the fledgling democracies in Tunisia and Egypt.I'm really torn on this one. On one hand, I hate these stupid wars and that we're even over there. Also, I love NASA. On the other hand, I REALLY love air conditioning. Also, I like trying to get back that $20B by stripping union workers and pregnant women of their rights, so you understand my dilemma.
Sigh. Life. Fucking box of crackers, no?
