The Limitations of Andrew Bacevich

Bacevich may be good on what the US should be doing with respect to its foreign policy (and reining in the MIC), but he seems to be clueless about the (D)s and the (R)s. Trump may be unsatisfactory for Bacevich, but the truth is probably that Trump can do very little to bring about the goals Bacevich wants. The (R)s will never adopt Bacevich's platform, and even if the (D)s might vocally talk about defunding the MIC, they'll never do it either.
