Our Military Pinheads

Here is a timely opinion piece concerning how we should address the failings of our military and intel pinheads:

Add to them the new Secretary of the Air Force, who somehow thinks it would be a good idea to "scare" China:

Where did they find these clowns?

China is only our enemy because we treat them as one. Certainly, they were and are going to be our chief competitor on the world stage, but if we lose that struggle with them it's because we are selling an ideology and a product which no one wants. That's our fault, not theirs.

And as I've said before, just doing more of the same (demonizing, saber-rattling, bullying, etc.) is completely counterproductive, unless the goal is to goad them into war. Frankly, that's the LAST thing we need right now.

Give peace a chance. It couldn't be any worse than the mess our warlords have gotten us into.
