Our military was once viewed with great respect around the world, seen as a power used for the most part to back up American values. Today it’s often viewed with great disdain around the world, seen as a power used for the most part to back up American corporate interests.

Should read Smedley Butler. US military was always an arm of corporations.

Corruption reeks everywhere in Washington, turned people wanting to do good in the world to hired thugs for oil companies.

That is a terrible opinion for you to share. My brother spent his life in the Army. He and his teams saved countless lives rescuing oppressed children and adults in the Middle East and Europe. Jeez- And you wanted to be commander in Chief. 🇺🇸

What’s of note is the change in perception. Because the fundamental purpose of the American military hasn’t changed since Major Gen. Smedley Butler’s speech in 1933.
