Fearless indeed! No one since Ike has really had the balls to say this out loud and Eisenhower waited until his farewell address. Honestly this scares the hell out of me.
It's a revolving door of retired O6+ getting phat paychecks. If you're a one-star up, you get a VP position, 7-figure salary, and you help bring in more contracts or shore up existing deals.
And the oversight on the contracts -- particularly the ones OCONUS -- is so bad. So much money being made that isn't supposed to be profit.
Defense contractors are necessary, but they're bent, and incompetent oversight doesn't do much to stop it.
Back in the 90s I would have called you crazy if you told me that the Democrats would become the party of big corporations and censorship, while the Republicans would become the party of working class Americans and free speech.
To be fair, the upper brass do so for retirement perks on corporate boards. The mid-level brass do it for resume boosters so they can become upper brass.
Top brass also want to monetize their connections after they retire through consultancy and even book deals. Those consultancies basically sell deep state influence and connections.
Goddamn talk about the brass balls on our president. He loves the troops, doesnt want to start any new wars, wants to end useless wars, but wants the military to be unrivaled in strength and doesnt care who has to step over to make it all happen
I am so incredibly proud of POTUS for saying this. Truly grateful he is making a stand against the war hawks and the pork barrel spending by crooked politicians.
General Dynamics pushing more M-1 tanks on the Army and Marines when they said they don't want them... is a prime example.
Military : "We have enough Abrams, thanks but no thanks. We need to pay our enlisted better."
General Dynamics : "We aren't asking... we are telling."
Let's not forget all the corporate boards and consulting gigs all the brass parachute into once they retire from service. Of course they're going to be cosy with their future employers once they get to the highest levels. Let's not forget they're soldiers and serve at the behest of the country. They should have to file contact reports for any interaction with military contractors and be barred from working in any capacity within the MI complex for 5 years following seperation.

No kidding. That kind of talk is going to enrage some very powerful people.
Used to work in the defense industry.

Make no mistake. People who say this kind of stuff tend to drop dead. Trump's got big balls!
If anything happens to Trump a lot of organizations will be broken and scattered into the winds..
That's why I love this guy

Again..simple question..
Whats Trump body count in dead and wounded Soldiers over other Presidents?...
Bottom line Trump has not piss away military lives like other have in futile efforts...
And that a action speaks louder that the lies of the left
A man that hated the military would defund them or misuse them or piss them away in futile efforts
If Trump hated the military....
He do to them what Democrat Mayors do to their cops

Stay safe brother.
I'll swing by the white house with a wheelbarrow for those balls.
Naming the military industrial complex is based af.
Ya and it's dangerous. I feel like Trump's in the middle of a mine field with his head up, marching straight out, and we're all following him.
