Department of Offense

We should just rename the Department of Defense and call it what it is and what it has been. We invaded Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Central America, Grenada, Afghanistan, Iraq and who knows where else via proxy (Indonesia, Bosnia and Palestine come to mind). But enough of that. Now the government is talking about the judicious use of a pre-emptive strike anywhere in the world (Iran comes to mind). The Department of Defense isn't "Defending" us from anyone; It is proactively decimating the parts of the world that have economic or bullshit anticommunist/leftist governments that we can propogandize as "them" and crank up the industrial machine to destroy. It is a wonder that 9/11 only happened once. This insanity has to change. We have the wherewithal (wealth) and institutions to be the shining light to the world and this (and a long line of) adminstration(s) will succeed in squandering it all. Throw them all out.
