The Democratic War Platform
The Democratic Party's draft platform takes a government that spends over half of discretionary spending on militarism, as much as the rest of the world combined, with troops in most countries and seven wars underway, and says: Keep it going, only more so!
The Platform begins with support-the-troops propaganda, demanding military spending for the sake of the people recruited into the military, many of them of course for lack of the free college that the Democrats have left out of their platform.
“Support Our Troops and Keep Faith with Our Veterans,” is the opening headline on foreign policy. The words under that headline have nothing to do with what it suggests:
“Democrats believe America must continue to have the strongest military in the world.”
You'd have to eliminate the vast majority of it for that not to be so.
