Apparently the US Senate wants us to stay at war with Afghanistan and Syria:

Can anyone explain how this helps the US? It certainly helps Israel and the purveyors of heroin, but what good is that for the rest of us?
Our estimated "official" budget shortfall for 2019 is $ 1.24 trillion [https://www.usgovernmentspending.com/federal_deficit_chart.html].
Our official military budget for 2019 is $ 1.3 trillion [https://dod.defense.gov/News/SpecialReports/Budget2019.aspx].
You think maybe it's time to stop picking fights with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela ... and to stop pouring money down the Pentagon rat hole? I certainly do.
Before we give them another penny, we absolutely need for the US military to account for the $20+ trillion they ALREADY have wasted and cannot explain. That's an amount equal to the entire "official" federal deficit:
