The Minuteman



A few days ago I got this book "The Minuteman" by former US Senator and presidential candidate Gary Hart.

I haven't really read much yet, but it mentions the military of the contemporary United States as "Eisenhower's Nightmare".

It exposes the many cons for maintaining a "Standing Army" over the effectiveness of a "People's Army" or Civil Defense. The Minuteman.

Like Switzerland where every citizen is also trained to be a soldier, should the situation arise.

I have to read more, so far every page has been an eye opener.

Currently, we're basically feeding a monster.
The Military-Industrial Complex, which will always find a reason to sustain and grow itself.
