Never forget that it was Reagan and Thatcher who pushed

the Friedman/Hayek agenda of destroying the state and promoting the privatization of all institutions including the army. It was Bush/Cheney who continued those policies and welcomed the mercenaries in Iraq.
It s no accident that the Con is attacking national security agencies and their leaders, attacking the generals and promoting folks like Prince and his sister.
