Let me add, this is because the trendoids know very well that the dominance they hold in the political system will be erased by engineers, military men, and machinists if the danger (loss of military dominance) is recognized and steps taken to restore it (by building up and using a whacking great military AND nuclear arms system).

Who needs Barbara Streisand’s opinion when security, that of major US cities not being blown up, rests on engineers, trained military men, and skilled machinists, electricians, and so on?
