Another winner, Ken. I can’t help but remember Eisenhower’s warning against the military-industrial complex when I was just a high school kid.

Glad you liked it! Yes, Eisenhower's speech should be required reading in school IMO.

I like to annoy the shitlibs that surround me by saying I'm an Eisenhower Republican. I got a lot of mileage out of the Cheneys proving once and for all that the Democrats are all Bush Republicans now.

Are we going to see Cheney taking the old Rumsfeld spot in her cabinet? Makes you want to upchuck.

See? I actually think the fact that the military brass hating Trump is one of the things I like. The troops like him. The brass? Nah. She's kissing up to them because she sees what they've done to him. Why are we never given proof rather than hearsay about whatever it is he has done? I just think he does what he wants and doesn't give deference to them. Either way, I'm hoping and crossing my fingers for a Tulsi Gabbard role dealing with them. She knows more than either of the candidates. And, honestly, without your reporting, I wouldn't know we were all over the world. I mean, other than money, I can't even figure out the end game goal.

Nice piece!

Exposing the corruption is excellent; retired full bird Colonels have a wonderful situation that most people only dream about... the brotherhood of commanders is strong I hope they target the safety of the people foremost, not institutions.

Remember - at the beginning Trump adoringly called them “my generals” — each and all of them betrayed him.

While he betrayed (?) general Flynn

Harris' foreign policy is frightening. Trump might at least stop Ukraine (not that he couldn't have stopped it as president). I think Harris et al lead directly to WWIII. We are f'ed. It is a pity Trump is insane.
