War Is a Force That Pays the 1 Percent: Occupying American Foreign Policy

[PETRUS]

If the last decade was the era of occupations that everyone called liberations, then the 99 percent movement is seeking to make this the era of liberations everyone calls occupations.

"It's clear that the interests of the majority of people in this country do not align with the military-industrial complex who put corporate profiteering based on destruction ahead of the needs of people," said Alex Kane, a journalist and activist. "The nexus of power that Occupy is looking to challenge in this country does not stop at Wall Street. Military profiteering is an integral part of the system and it should be challenged."

1. step one - let the troops do their own cooking and cleaning

our military fed itself and cleaned up after itself quite fine until recently, but now everything is privatized and corporatized. Why have a sense of urgency to get the job done militarily when being overseas is just another place to get KFC and Burger Crap..oops King 10 year wars make more profits than 2 year wars. De-privatize, get the job done, and get out.
