At this point, there's no hiding that a considerable number of MSM sources directly promotes the agenda of both US military contractors and the Pentagon, trying to advertise the US military as the ultimate combat force akin to those unvanquishable legions of Rome from two thousand years ago. Unsurprisingly, the military brass is more than willing to uphold this image, as it has recently been announced by the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joseph F. Dunford,
that these days there's no force able to withstand a joint assault mounted by the US military. Well, somehow the Department of Defense (DoD) wants even
more money, even though there's no logical explanation as to why the mightiest army on the planet would need to improve anything,
when everyone else is obviously lagging far behind.
However, it's been rightfully
pointed out by Global Research that:
With the biggest military budget in the world, five times larger than the next six countries, the largest number of military bases - over 180 - in the world and the most expensive military industrial complex, the US has failed to win a single war in the 21st century.
It would, indeed, be tempting to allocate all blame on those dubious
weapons programs that draw mind-boggling amounts of resources without ever producing anything to show for them. But it's far past this stage by now, as it's obvious that the
US military itself is undergoing a period of moral decay, where young men who enlisted to defend their country with honor and dignity are gradually turning into crooks.
Comment: One-third of Americans believing this in-your-face nonsense seems a bit high!
