Flagg, what you say is true for some yet...
There is a large population of liberals (I'm generalizing here, it may not be ALL liberals) who believe that the rise of ISIS is "our" fault and was caused by "our" military intervention in the middle east. Following that belief they come to the
logical conclusion that since it was military intervention, that its the military's fault ie... military industrial complex blah blah.
Their general view of the military is that it is some huge machine being used to decimate large swaths of goat herders and blowing up babies and hospitals in order to further some shadowy organization's plan to rule the world, meanwhile "someone" is using it to funnel billions of tax dollars out of the system and into the pockets of blackwater-esq and Brown and Root types.
Somehow, though, they blame all this murdering killing blowing up hospitals stuff on Bush...
These same people look to the government (the same people that drive this despicable military industrial complex coincidentally) for food, housing, well-paying jobs and medical care.
So they hate the military, they hate the shadowy figures who send our blood thirsty vampires out to rape and pillage the world, yet they love the same people who send our blood thirsty vampires out to rape and pillage the world.
We are a confused country right now.
