This former first lady reflects a military mentality that gravitates toward males as she may subconsciously fear stress of their testosterone preventing her from getting voter support from the Army and other war hawks. Since she made the worst military mistake by voting for another Iraq War, what will prevent her from doing it again?
Evangelical candidates, too, follow Biblical inclination for sacrificing youths on the church alter battlefield of burnt offerings, ever since the time of Abraham when men were frightened by their gods in space and killed their own children to appease the unknown. These mysterious forces of nature they gave names, such as Zeus, the supreme god over all the skies. One of his siblings was Hades, what some religions use as man-made threat to control children and adults, especially women, by lying that they will go to hell if they don't do as they're told.
The Pentagon also insists on wars because the war department, in which war is defenseless, props up the military economy in which tax payers pay for all the grief and corporations roll in the money. Meanwhile the people want peace instead of war, a constant world battle on land, in sea and the toxic polluted lower atmosphere–black powder with no accountability. Earthquakes also erupt from wars and deep underground disturbances.
"Los Angeles could fit into the land managed by the Pentagon 93 times. The Army alone uses more than twice as much building space as all the offices in New York City. The Pentagon operates more than 170 golf courses worldwide."–Mother Jones. And this doesn't include 5,000 foreign military bases often left abandoned recklessly with no clean up for those owning the contaminated land with poisons and carbon emissions. Free education and health care could be completely covered by giving up wars that only mean trouble. War is no problem solver.
Present presidential candidates want more weapons for proxy wars and civil aggression in the Middle East. What America does best is helping children and non-combatants caught in the smoke screen crossfire. America was not founded for a death machine. But its destructive wars bring on revenge. President Obama is trying to wean the U.S. off its bloated military from total war to drones. However, drones kill non-combatants too, what makes the nation unsafe from Muslim revenge of having their people targeted as they all fear the sky.
Just think if America had foreign drones attacking us everyday! When the federal government spends more time negotiating and using diplomacy for peace, humanity will be safer than people not knowing where the next fire-storm will strike.
