I'm having another thought. The military is all convoluted and interconnected with corporate entities. Is this because so much of what should be done by the military is now contracted out to the private sector?
I think that its because once retired they often make authoritative advocates for corporations. It would be a good thing if they were putting the needs of DoD ahead of their new employer. However, they don’t always do that. In Flynn’s case, he seemed to be cashing in on his former connections with DIA and with foreign countries, Russia and Turkey. At least he wasn’t taking any Iranian money.
