Our Lefty Military

Seeing as the Weapons Industry is the driveing force and there is a known insider drive behind it all?
To the common person it's pretty clear there is something not right.
But Voters seem to ignore the simple facts.

Another area in which the comparison fails is because while the civilian CEO makes more than his military counterparts there aren't too many ex-CEO's still drawing a salary from their old companies, but there are a lot of retired General Officers, as well as still more numerous retired Field Grade officers (who make almost as much) on down to senior Enlisted retirees, all of them getting free medical and other benefits.

Not to mention many Ex-Military while grabbing benefits, go to work at high pay for 'Concerns' that use them to dig deeper into our pockets.
I kind of see it as Treason myself.
