The military-industrial complex is now run by women
"The CEOs of four of the five biggest defense contractors are women. Watch Ali Velshi break down who is running Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing’s defense wing, and weapons negotiations for the U.S."

Hmmmm, now this is interesting. We have heard for at least 50 years that when women get this kind of power they would be different, kinder, gentler and less warlike than men have been.

As I recall Hillary was quite hawkish.

I have always been skeptical about that theory that says all or most violence, especially war, comes from men.

There are hundreds of huge examples to the contrary spread throughout history.

Take WWII for example. Or for that matter, let's just look at white supremacy. One should have no problem seeing clearly that white supremacy, which has been responsible for 2 of the biggest, most bloody war's in recent human history,is not gender specific.

Those women who support white supremacy are just as violent as the men who perform most of the violent acts that we associate with white supremacy. They teach it to their sons and daughters.

Unfortunately for all of us, the simplistic feminists theory about violence and its source is way wrong. These women are not going to change the military imdustrial complex. Trillions have been lost and their budget was increased, which is good for the bottomline.

Nothing is gonna stop that train.
