They are strong and brave. But those running things have kept us in a state of perpetual war for 15 years. Funny how so many of the them end up working for companies that profit from war.

It's the generals/admirals that are worrisome.

yes they are whacked.
Because they are limited by their "military-think training" they believe themselves to be brilliant but they can only think inside their small box. In short, they are boring and while bright, still stupid.
