I just finished reading Rachel Maddow’s book DRIFT. It’s all about the military industrial complex and our many wars and….
Dwight Eisenhower warned us about wars back in his day. But we didn’t listen.
And now Congress doesn’t even declare war. Imperial presidents – which started with Reagan and his playmates Meese and Cheney – have all sorts of workarounds to avoid Congressional input or control. That’s not what the U.S. Constitution intended!
And outsourcing for the military. Wow. How not-cool is that? Outsourcing is a great way, apparently, to stop Congressional action.
Read Maddow’s book. Very interesting and informative.
