A majority of right wing whackos love to celebrate our generals and give them more to spend every year.
But consider: We don't have a single general who's ever won a war. Not one.
That's because the military's latest strategy for long term acquisition of big bucks and limited interference from politicians or the press, is to make sure you never win a war. No sir. When you win a war the bucks stop comin'.
That's why we're fighting and dying in so many places.
Take General Kelly, for example -- a man who's transitioned from general to chief of staff for Trump -- and who has joined in to willingly spread fake news targeting supposed political enemies in defense of his master. Why the hell would anyone revere this loser because he once wore a uniform? No wonder Trump loves him!!
