Someone whose government is financially at the effect of the insatiable greed of the military industrial complex.

That’s outrageous, Laura. My father was very leftwing and fought bravely in World War II. I would put his patriotism up against anyone’s, any time.

They didn’t abandon their responsibilities; quite the opposite. They are patriots who stood up for our democracy in the face of your unprecedented attacks.
I will veto Article 10 of the budget passed by the legislature.
Article 10 funds the legislative branch.
No pay for those who abandon their responsibilities.
Stay tuned.

Sec. Lloyd Austin is a former General and board member at Raytheon, so once Congress allowed that without saying a peep then nothing else would be a surprise.

Your mischaracterization of my writing has nothing to do with what I wrote. Sad to see you missed that.

7/ Come on, America. We can do so much better. In the memory of those brave and brilliant people who gave their lives in the service of this country, today let’s commit to ourselves that their service will not have been in vain. Let this be a day when we commit to waging peace.

6/ Perhaps we can end America’s militaristic madness. Perhaps we will begin to spend more of our resources on proactively creating the conditions of peace, and less on fighting the wars of profit that are the parasitic result of making war just another capitalistic enterprise.

5/ It is wrong for us to mourn their deaths today unless we’re also willing to mourn, and take responsibility for, the real reasons why so many of them died.

4/ Some wars are righteous, some are not. But our modern wars have not been. The soldiers who died in Viet Nam & Iraq died more because of the folly of the American defense establishment and its unholy alliance with the military industrial complex than they died to defend freedom

3/ We continue to countenance a $750B defense budget tho no one can exactly tell us why. We can’t have an economy so predicated on the production of military equipment & at the same time say how much we care about all the war & destruction & death caused by war.
