The following is a political Op-Ed by a CIA MQ-9 Reaper deployed to Southwest Asia.
Attention, human foot-soldiers of the American Empire! Election season is this year, so let's understand this before any of us get attached to a particular candidate: our country needs a president who supports endless war. Someone who will reassert America's greatness in the world by sending us to invade mineral-rich countries rather than enacting policies that might benefit individuals.
Don't be led astray by candidates with funny hair or fantasies of making universities affordable, pursuing diplomacy before war, or making healthcare a right. Forget about peace, and forget about bettering those entitled hippies in the civilian populace. Such things are overrated anyway — why should America spend tax money to improve her taxpayers' lives when, instead, she can ensure an endless flow of money into the capitalist war machine?
