Who Are the True Enemies of Democracy?

The U.S. military opposes democracy. It is not itself a democracy and its contempt for democratic processes is amply illustrated by its consistent obstruction of the free-flow of information about its activities to the American people--to whom it is, in theory, responsible. Consequently, we must depend upon the consciences of insider whistle-blowers--true American patriots and heroes--to inform us about the wars being prosecuted in our names. Thank God for those whose consciences remain awake amid the conscience-numbing experience of military service.
