    The funny thing about this is that the pentagon said no to new tanks, warships and planes several times - because they have enough.

    But Congress, neatly and obediently leashed to the weapons industry, suckling at the feet of their masters said no… to the military experts…

    Just like when the pentagon said no to Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress said yes…

    Because a bunch of liberal (neo or “classical”) demagogues, zealots, shills and spineless bootlickers know better than the military experts… of course.

    I often maintained we don’t pay too much or too little in taxes but rather there are gross misallocations of its usage.
