But I swear to you that this is no cause for joy, because a privatized military, which is the way things are moving, will put the power of arms in the hands of a few power brokers that can control government.
And this would extend there power to that of kings that rule over us all and thumb there noses at democracy.
So celebrate now the fact that your sons and daughters are safe from the military because in the future you will wish that the kid with the assault rifle that kicks in your door had a familiar face, instead of a paid thug in the Exxon private security force hired to do the job.
Once the military is taken from the democratic pat of government it is all over baby blue.
