Military Socialism

David Corn calls it as he sees it.

I love the base-closing issue. It turns all these conservative Republicans in states losing bases into socialists. Military socialists, that is. In a flash they would object to the US government spending money to create civilian jobs in, say, the solar industry. But they're all for using taxpayer money to preserve jobs in their states or districts that the Pentagon says are not needed. How Soviet of them. Pass the vodka, comrade.
