The maintenance of nearly 1,000 US military bases on foreign soil isn’t just a nightmare for peaceniks. It’s also an objective threat to US national security. Shutting down those foreign bases and bringing the troops home are essential first steps in creating an actual national defense.

It’s a Favor to be Excluded from the Military
Of all the things that people could complain about when it comes to discrimination, it seems to me that not being allowed to be an unthinking mercenary (and/or cannon fodder) for some of the evilest people on the planet … is not exactly the worst thing that could happen to someone.
An Aircraft Carrier
What is happening here? Have the merchants of death gathered at the water for one long, last draft at the trough? Is the water without limit? How long can we survive having our financial stability sucked away?

The American Way of War
Contrary to popular misconception, the war state did not begin in 1945. From the start, war was an acceptable means to national policy ends, whether to open markets or to install friendly regimes. It’s a gross understatement to call this record shameful.
