How sweet is the light, what a delight for the eyes to behold the sun! Even if a man lives many years, let him enjoy himself in all of them, remembering how many the days of darkness are going to be. The only future is nothingness!
Ecclesiastes 11:7-8

Check out this excellent article from the Atlantic, “The Tyranny of Defense,Inc.” (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/01/the-tyranny-of-defense-inc/8342/). The author, Andrew Bacevitch, is retired military, a good writer, and very perceptive. I really enjoyed his book, Washington Rules: America’s Path to Permanent War, as well.  Sad but true.
