    The bumper sticker war

    McWarmonger can and does reduce his views to a bumper sticker. The other side needs to do that as well.

    Most people just do not pay much attention. The right wingers who pay attention prove, over and over, that their attention wanders halfway through the first sentence.

    We have seen this issue reduced to a formulation such as "generals are associated to the Pentagon, so what?".

    There must be a way to make these points that will resonate with the wider public.
