9:32Now PlayingSupporting U.S. Troops vs. Supporting The U.S. Military - There is A Big Difference
A clear and important distinction gets made between supporting the men and women who volunteer to serve their country and supporting the military as an institution. Hawk addresses the military industrial complex, the civilian leadership that has repeatedly sent troops into unwinnable wars based on lies, and how profit-driven defense contracting has come at the direct expense of the people actually doing the fighting.
From Dick Cheney and George W. Bush's Iraq war built on deception, to 20 years in Afghanistan only to hand the country back to the Taliban, the pattern of expendable troops and protected contractors is laid bare. Donald Trump's well-documented contempt for wounded veterans, his five Vietnam draft deferments due to bone spurs signed off by a paid doctor, and his mocking of the late Robert Mueller, a decorated Vietnam veteran, paint a consistent picture of a commander-in-chief with zero respect for military service.
The military industrial complex, Raytheon, Boeing and the broader defense contractor ecosystem, has been so laser-focused on shareholder value and high-ticket weapons systems that the U.S. military now finds itself dangerously unprepared for modern drone warfare, the dominant force in the current Iran conflict. Veteran suicide rates remain catastrophically high while government support for those same veterans continues to erode. Supporting troops means holding their leadership accountable, not offering blind loyalty to military propaganda.
