A concentration camp by any other name still stinks of fascism.

The people up at the front - whether "the front" is a war zone or a workplace or a classroom - the people doing the work and taking the risks are telling us things are pretty fucked up, and I'm not hearing much agreement, or seeing practically any action at all, coming from the higher-ups.

What the fuck are we doing?

What They're Selling

The pretense of expertise will never prevail. But we have to pay attention.

Changes

I knew a retired Army 4-star. He said most members of the military voted Republican because they gave the DOD big budgets, and hardly used them for anything, while the Democrats kept wanting to cut their budget, and use them for every stupid thing that came along. That started to change with Iraq, and 2 cycles later, he voted for Hillary.

That culture changes slowly, but for several years before he died, he couldn't hear "Trump" or "GOP" without muttering, "Those fuckin' jerks".

The good and honorable ones know that while politics is a factor, their oath is what counts. And they're not stupid - they know when leadership is totally FUBAR, and they know they can vote to change it.

This is NOT the typical fun one, but it needs to be said... military members, and those who claim to "support our troops, need to start taking a close hard look at how they vote.
