How do you think this will impact the men's rights movement?

"We no longer have a civilian-led government. It is hard for a lifelong Republican and son of a retired Air Force colonel to say this, but the most unnerving legacy of the Bush administration is the encroachment of the Department of Defense into a striking number of aspects of civilian government. Our Constitution is at risk [ ... ] As military officers sought to take over the role played by civilian development experts abroad, Pentagon bureaucrats quietly populated the National Security Council and the State Department with their own personnel (some civilians, some consultants, some retired officers, some officers on 'detail' from the Pentagon) to ensure that the Defense Department could keep an eye on its rival agencies. Vice President Cheney, himself a former secretary of defense, and his good friend Rumsfeld ensured the success of this seeding effort by some fairly forceful means."

You may sleep soundly at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those who seek to harm you.

I know the Daily Kos is not popular here. I was kicked off of it last year (and only too glad to go).

But the content of this article per se is definitely worth checking out.

I would love to see a military takeover of this God-damned power usurping gov't. Please. Soon.
