You can call it DPM for short. Democratic Party Militarism is the ironic "reward" progressives get for taking control of both houses of Congress. It will be the DEMOCRATS who will shatter all records for inflating our military establishment. Never to be outdone by Bush in worshipping and grovelling before America's glorious, sacred military, The DEMOCRATIC PARTY will add tens of thousands of soldiers to a military that neither wants to occupy other nations, nor has the capacity to do so.
Why will this happen? Because the worse the consequences of American militarism become, the more tightly America clings to the illusion that the military is the basis of our power. The Democrats and Republicans agree: the remedy for the failures of militarism is MORE MILITARISM. The remedy for unchecked military spending is MORE SPENDING. The answer to an endless war is MORE CAPACITY TO WAGE ENDLESS WAR.
Everything is different now. Now the Democrats will expand the largest military establishment in the World, not the Republicans.
