1/ View as a veteran and a person who has done work with contractors for USAID. The lies being told about this agency serves two purposes - 1) to lead the US to war and the 2) target internal opposition to dear leader (think the 1918 Sedition Act).

5/ (…we can talk about why 12 year olds need access to birth control in many counties in another thread). USAID by bringing healthcare and infrastructure support to countries reduces illegal immigration - people don’t leave their homes when their needs are met - health, infrastructure, the hope.
4/ USAID helps empower citizens of other countries to stabilization their countries (thinks safe water, schools for children, and yes - reproductive care so for example girls can have pads so they don’t have to miss school…
3/ UDSAID provides healthcare support and disease tracking which keeps the US safe and healthy. Many USAID workers are healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, epidemiologists) , infrastructure engineers (water, sewer, roads) , and logistic support (food and medicine deliveries).
2/ USAID really is the country’s soft power. As we learned from the 1990s on, tasking our military with infrastructure support after a mission is completed takes out. Troops off task/mission. They are not trained to work with civilians while USAID is.
