Chisum brings some interesting thoughts to the table this week pertaining to drones, whistle blowers and the current state of our Military Industrial Complex. We don’t have the answers but the conversation is worth having. Should America hold itself to a higher standard? Or does that ideology make us vulnerable?

What about the idea that we simply must always be dropping bombs on someone? All of it seems very 1984-ish when you think about it.
