I sure want him to keep being vocal. I wish we could get him on national tv. Most Americans wouldn't even understand what he's talking about.

Very few speak for us who know the truth about this ugly part of our society.

Also, people don't seem to realize that what Smedley Butler said was true in many ways. The military is like a forced investment. That's not really the correct wording. There very existence requires that they be used. They exist, so there will be war. But war isn't war. War is business. The military is the paver of business paths. So whenever the military is used, it is safe to look for what business interest is being served.
