"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

One-Man Military-Industrial Complex

Wow, a retired general is also a war profiteer.

It's amazing that so many self-proclaimed libertarians and conservatives still fall for the crisis-mongering of the defense establishment. They don't give them the same sort of scrutiny they would other who urge massive spending programs and government interventions. Maybe stories like this will make them more skeptical. Nah.
