Wondering why Kamala Harris keeps saying we should have the "most lethal" military? She's the leading recipient of defense industry campaign contributions this cycle.

The current Defense Secretary was on the Raytheon board. They're openly campaigning for every vote but yours.

[Screenshot of Open Secrets section of Top Defense Recipients, Harris is Rank 1 with $1,362,095 and Trump is Rank 2 with $821,493]

Yeah, money doesn't override free will, only violence can sometimes do that. Choice always still remains though. Like, 200 years ago you could have a slave. They were bought and paid for, right? But they could still run away.

Being "bought and paid for" is really completely meaningless when it comes to living things, only inanimate objects really have to obey 100% of the time. That's just common sense.

I do agree with the need to demand, though. Very important.
