Bacevich knows what he's talking about. Here's a brief bio on him: http://www.bu.edu/ir/faculty/bacevich.html Here's an interesting article he wrote last month for the Boston Globe: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ed..._hath_wrought/ To date, nobody else has professed more sobering ideas than Bacevich IMO. Unfortunately, it will take a radical mindset change in America before we see real change such as he describes. |
