thanks for sharing. i need to get his book. reminds me of when joseph stiglitz went clean on the world bank. as a side note, pompeo recently offered a similar reveal (albeit with the unabashed tone of a colonizer) at a speech he gave at A&M this April when he admitted that the goal of the CIA was to lie, cheat and steal in order to maintain U.S. interests abroad.

there are 100Ks who joined the military as "employer of last resort", and yes, obviously duped by the $100Ms/year of DoD marketing.
