Bacevich continues pushing the US plutocrats' fake narrative of the US as a benign influence in the world. Why don't these ignorant fools ever tell the truth? The US is an Empire, owned by the plutocrats, and it uses the threat of sanctions and its military to covertly extract wealth from, and oppress the planet. The US creates the illusion it's the World's policeman, but this policeman is a corrupt and brutal thief and murderer. It pushes US Exceptionalism just as the Nazis pushed Aryan Superiority. There is a reason the US is the wealthiest nation on the planet, and it’s due to its control of other nations' economies. You might remember how Hartman tacitly supported US sanctions against Venezuela in the US plutocrats' grab for the oil. Where the US plutocrats went wrong was in their overt assault on Iraq. Now, that was the historical event that woke many to the reality of US Empire. Watching the psychopath Hillary cackle "We came, we saw, he died", as the Western backed terrorist mercenaries gave a bayonet enema to Gaddafi in Libya also woke many to the brutality of US Imperialism. Watching Madeline Albright saying "It was worth it" to her responsibility in the deaths of half a million Iraqi children in some pathetic hope of getting the Iraqi people to rise up against their leader was just another war crime.
The reality of US Empire is encapsulated in the words of the great Major General Smedley Butler in his book, "War is a Racket" - "War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism."
So compare the insight of Butler to this pathetic excuse for an academic, Bacevich. Get rid of this pathetic imperialist scum; there is nothing more dysfunctional and politically and influentially dangerous that an ignorant academic that has been programmed by a corrupt imperialist state. When looking at the military personnel like Bacevich, one should always remember the words of Kissinger, “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”
