Someone whose views are aligned with mine. I see the military like a surgeon. If we need to have surgery, then, of course, we should have the best. We must always be prepared for that. But a reasonable person tries to avoid surgery at all costs Our Sec. of Defense should not be a military person (as with Trump’s) or someone who was a board member at a defense contractor (as with Biden’s - Sec. Lloyd Austin, is a former board board member of Raytheon *as well as* a General.) This is *not* what any of us should want when we say we want “experienced people.” People experienced at the corruption inherent in the military industrial complex is not the kind of experience we need. What we need is people experienced in calling stuff like that out, and who will refuse to perpetuate the madness. #marianne2024
