Naturally as an ex-Marine who has lived abroad, have been around the military for a life time I understand the need for a powerful force with the USA the only super power in the world. I've watch as many the debate in congress about cuts to the military, two things our never our asked. One has to do with why we have been fighting wars of choose based on lie's, as if our military colleges didn't teach world history to out officers. Second never spoken about in revenue needs, never the word taxes on those with the most, as if collection of revenue can only come from cutting services to the poor with no representatives speaking for them. This is to me the failed concept of uncontrolled capitalism.
All governments in one or another way do in fact represent the peoples interest and involvement in their government.
Of course today the horrific tactic of violence showing a mid-evil concept, the mis - represetation of Islam. Of course revenge, re-action will be played out in all the political fronts, feed into our own political Tribalism. Naturally humans have never follow such backward concepts and thought, it dose not match what being human is about, in direct opposition to all progress.
Remember: Happiness is Oh so simple, that a Thankful heart is the beginning of wisdom, that effort is essential for anything worthwhile in life.
