- bediger4000 12y agoBig deal. A retired General, who was head of the DIA, rants and raves in front of "the crowd at the annual National Defense Industry Association’s special-operations meeting." I'm cynical enough about the US defense establishment to see this as someone telling pigs at the trough that they need more swill from the government. General Flynn is a product of the "deep state", he's definitely going to advocate it's continued existence. What really tickles me is the recycled anti-communist rhetoric: "fueled by a vision for worldwide domination", "committed to the destruction of freedom and the American way of life". Ha ha! I remember those phrases! You're just trying to scare me again! Fool me once, shame on me and all that. "Al Queda" replaced "Russkies" as the bogey man, now we're working towards replacing "Al Queda" with "ISIS". Just more pork for the defense companies and "IC" TLAs, is what I say it is.
