13. Yeah, yeah, as if I "hate the warrior" or said anything like that.
Of course the military-industrial complex and the needs of empire have been in control during the entire postwar era. It's been one permanent nuclear, later "terrorist" emergency. All about feeding money into the bottomless maw of the Pentagon and its 700 overseas bases and its contractors who basically write the policy and the budgets.

The point is not to "hate the warrior," but also not to pretend there's anything liberal and la la and wonderful about "service." I don't hate them, I just don't want to see young people encouraged to sign up for this mess and go serve as tools of murder around the world.
