By Glenn Greenwald The overarching ideology of Pentagon officials is larger military budgets and ongoing permanent war posture. Their new war target, explicitly, is domestic “white rage.” For two hundred forty years, American generals have not exactly been defined by adamant public advocacy for left-wing cultural dogma.
