In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren Comes Down Hard Against Global Warming, Separates Herself From Hillary Clinton [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)I've always despised military "stupid spending" and I spent decades in the military. I also think that--as is already happening--drawdowns make sense in the absence of war. This is, you know, why we rely on the reserves much more than we did twenty and thirty years ago--we can wind 'em up and draw them down far easier, and we don't have to pare an active force quite so much (though that can't be avoided entirely, and, if you have been paying attention, you'll see that the process is already underway and has been for some time).
I guess you are saying that Warren isn't a feminist, either, if "war can never be feminist."
Which, to my ear, sounds very much like a sexist statement, but whatever.
I think your comment will come as a surprise to all the women in uniform who have served over the last decade and then some.
