Democrats and the deep state swamp do not give a shit for the American People. What was stated about wars is a fact. The only way that the so called Top Brass ( majors, colonels , lt colonels one star and up rejects. Only By sacrificing your Sons and Daughters on the front line can they advance their rank.

SO MR PRESIDENT. WITH DRAW ALL OUR TROOPS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. BRING THEM HOME WHERE THEY CAN BE SAFE. AND CAN BE WITH THEIR FAMILIES.

No more allowing these monsters to start wars unless their families are on the front lines also. If they do not. Have family members old enough to serve than they can not have a say in going to war.

Trump should draft an executive order that makes it illegal for any former commissioned officer to accept an offer of employment from a company that makes arms, equipment, or vehicles for the military.

If he did this, you would know immediately just how real the military industrial complex is. Generals and Admirals kiss the asses of defense contractors in order to get cushy, high-paying board of director jobs after they retire.

Ehh, I can't get behind this. While it sounds good, it would limit a lot of good folks for whom Uncle Sam has bestowed years of valuable training in specific platforms from being employed in a silo'd field they understand.

Example: An officer who led repair teams on a specific tank would not be able to share their valuable field knowledge with the company that makes that tank after their military retirement. This would essentially render their time in service worthless from a resume prospective, and keep that company from hiring the absolute best available people.

Now, if you want to talk about lobbying, I'm all for ending the revolving door of elected officials/officers moving to lobbying firms after their terms are up, then moving to another office, and back to lobbying.

There's a reason that 6/10 of the wealthiest counties in the US surround the DC area. This has to stop. That region produces nothing. It's all influence peddling. This was never the plan for our founders.
