You can have respect for the US military and still have contempt for the profit-making goals of Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and Boeing. It is they who misuse and exploit the military for their own purposes, promoting and fostering a permanent war machine.

The #billionaires and #Oligarchs operate as a Transnational Capitalist Class. They are insane. “An influential psychologist is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths.” audible.com/pd/The-Psychopat…

Have you watched American TV? It's all war and zombies and killing things....this affects kids and people. We are a warring nation...every few decades we've bombed and killed people around the world, yes we've also fought tyrants but we also propped them up too, it needs to stop
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes ... It's time for us to stop depending on jobs from the "Military Industrial Complex" just like we need to stop depending on the "Oil Industry" ... both of these industries are killing us and our world!

When people don't respect their political leaders and do not trust the media they tend to be extremely supportive of the military. Right wingers fetishize it. This is a great recipe for militarism and coups.
Replying to @marwilliamson
They can only do this with the blessing of their (not our) politicians. DNC and RNC aid, abet and incentivize the actions of those companies.

You can have respect for some of the soldiers but not the whole apparatus generals and pen pushers and evil corrupt officials. I hope you are not implying that but I suspect you are.
No respect for the US military or its pimps. "Support the troops" is complicit in the murder of millions of people. Brown people from nations posing no threat to the USA.

This is only apparent to those with independent thoughts.

the military lets themselves be exploited
