LOL! You may be right -- these guys need to look in the mirror more often.

The military & spooks -- what a Byzantine hall of mirrors, the biggest mess $trillions can buy over the years.

1949-1999 the US spent $7.1 trillion on "national defense", as a result leaving $5.6 trillion in national debt, of which $3.6t is owed to the public and $2 trillion to the SocSecurity/Medicare trust funds, all due to military spending and servicing of the debt incurred.
