    Last military leader with military experience and the only one since to earnestly speak out against the military industrial complex.

    He’s a legitimately interesting dude.

      He was not the last; JFK also had military experience.

        Jfk was al not a military leader in the military, he was a serviceman in a minor role. Eisenhower was a literal general and was in leadership roles from 1918 to 1945ish iirc. ≠ jfk had a military understanding whereas Eisenhower had military leadership experience which is why I phrased it the way I did.

          Okay I see now what you meant. However, what you said was “last military leader with military experience”. JFK was commander in chief as the president (I.e., military leader) and was in the military (I.e., military experience).

            Sure but then every president is a military leader and it would be meaningless but i get the confusion, i do phrase things oddly fairly often.

              Right but they would not all have had military experience. I thought that was the distinction you were making.

                Like I said I phrase things oddly sometimes, it’s a bad habit.

        Kennedy won a medalmof Honor for his service. George HW Bush was shot down in WWII.

        But neither were military leaders, which is what I think he was referring to. Ike was the commander of the largest military alliance in the history of the world prior to becoming President. When he spoke out against the MIC, he did it from a position of absolute understanding.

      This prompted those groups to re-brand themselves into the tech sector based in a valley in California.

    Because the greatest generation would have threw out the gov if a partial collective welfare state wasn’t installed.

    U.S gov have treated vets like garbage ever since.

    Perfect example of why the political party system is pointless. I’d argue if anything it’s a tool used to undermine the whole democratic process

      The town of Cheran in Mexico got rid of their corrupt mayor who is in the pocket of cartels. They also got rid of political parties because they believe it only cause divisions. The town then adopted an anarchist system whereby they elect a leader once a year. They set up their own militia patrols. So far, they’ve been successful.
