One thought on “Birthday

  1. Thanks for the democracyarsenal link. It’s certainly the sort of thing I think about, and read around, but I don’t see the necessary precursors for an actual collision between military and civilian authorities in the US. For example, no US General today has the arrogance, political ambition, and public respect of Douglas MacArthur (the last time I think there was a genuine risk of things going very badly for my Republic).

    Actually, I wish there were more voices of dissent within the military during the Bush years, as torture became policy.
