I served for 20 years. I turned against military intervention after Cheney and the war hawks drove GW Bush into attecking Iraq using the WMD lie. This article reflects my views, including the idiocy of starting another illegal war in the Middle East. Until we get the military-industrial complex under control, we are doomed to failure after failure! We don’t need to sacrifice our young to satisfy that complex’s needs!
Thank you for taking the time to give us this history and point of view. True patriotism starts with being alert and informed. Thanks again for all your great essays.
It's way past time for the public to take complete control of the military complex as a whole...The Executive Branch has always had far too much control over the military, and always overseen by a politician who is entitled and untrustworthy of any power at all!!!
