Anti-Militarism

I finally found a reasonably good description of my position on the military:

one who accepts war and armies as a sometimes necessary evil, but regards a large military establishment and conscript armies, even when needed, as a threat to the preservation of civil institutions of government

Anti-militarism is a position that, properly articulated, could really help the left/liberal coalition build support.

Malcolm X was assasinated forty-one years ago today. Interesting guy.
