Trump's New War Budget....
Lawrence Wilkerson is a retired United States Army soldier and former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell. Wilkerson is an adjunct professor at the College of William & Mary where he teaches courses on US national security. He also instructs a senior seminar in the Honors Department at the George Washington University entitled "National Security Decision Making."
I disagree with Wilkerson's excitement for new technology war fighting systems that will be robotic and unmanned. He uses these 'cheaper and smaller' programs to make his case cut Pentagon cuts. I guess he wants to remain 'relevant' in the DC policital swirl where you have to make concessions to the corporate war machine.
In the end though I always learn something from Wilkerson and I do respect that he is one of the few that were once on the inside of the Washington political world willing to speak out about anything.
