Great reality article, thank you.

“Patel also uncovered the workings of an incestuous relationship – the Defense Industrial Complex – between senior military leaders, officers in charge of procurement of military equipment, and defense contractors. These players work to keep America engaged in military conflicts abroad, enriching each other in the process. Patel was disillusioned to find that Mark Esper, Trump’s secretary of state, was a major lobbyist for defense contractor Raytheon and received significant payouts from the firm. Esper thwarted Trump’s agenda for Afghanistan, refusing to draw down troops in Afghanistan, opposing a hostage rescue op, and preventing counterterrorism raids.”

Bingo... And the whole explanation for the speaker of the house issue. The MIC is in full control of our government and will only accept someone they have already purchased.
