Quote by: Nono  Skins, your statement has zero to do with sdbest's point in this thread.
It might also be observed that the US military has been a model of "equal opportunity" between black and white for the past 60 years now, while much of the rest of society just can't seem to get past the colour barrier. Groovy.
But the military-industrial complex that Ike warned about (half a century ago for cryin' out loud) has flourished all along.
This must have a great deal to do with the US remaining a Third World society in some respects. |
Well, since it was in direct response to something he said, if it has nothing to do with his thread, he was the one who took it there.
As to the point of the thread...the first "clause" of his OP has already been addressed (and debunked) in the other thread on the exact same topic started by sdbest. And the second "clause" is bunk, because it isn't the military that is causing the destruction, it is the pin-headed neo-con dill-weeds who have been running the country for the last 8 years who are plowing us into the ground by ordering a very fine group of individuals into a war that was stupid to begin with.
