Of course they are. Obama greatly expanded our presence in Afghanistan.

The whole military-industrial complex has been out of control for decades. It's why we can never get defense spending cuts. We literally have Congress, congressmen and senators in hearings and on the floor of the House and Senate, arguing in favor of spending massive amounts of money on private sales and construction of equipment, airplanes, etc. the military doesn't want, and which the military is literally fighting against being forced to accept by Congressmen pushing private corporation goals and lucrative contracts.
