The generation that opposed Vietnam never believed they would ever witness another one and now there is the same unnecessary war in Iraq. We let out guard down. We thought all the 'bad apples' were gone. They weren't. The worse of the bad apples, Richard Cheney, became more rotten that anyone could conceive. Corrupt. Controlling. But, most of all very dangerous.
We can't let our guard down anymore. The nation has to be secure. Our infrastructure made safe. But, most of all we need a military that accomplishes the 'purpose' for their deployment no matter the reason for any deployment. Our military is to have purpose, defined missions that doesn't stray from a clear directive.
This is the second time the industry of war and it's parties such as oil have hijacked our government and our military. We can never be that comfortable with ourselves again. This abuse of power has to stop and the electorate has to 'handle' the elected as they never have before.
