The liberal brainwashing is complete, they're as rabid as neo-cons.

    I think a lot of people have a completely non-material, vibes based, idealistic view of warfare. It's not about soldiers and missiles and satellites and industry, it's just good guys and bad guys and the good guys should win because they're the good guys.

      many of them actually go bonkers for that shit. The war being the main headline generator gives them an excuse to indulge in their obsessive jingoism and military fetish because it's topical and they get to show off how smart they are by regurgitating specs they memorized from Lockheed Martin brochures.
