Lockheed Martin Memorial Day Moneymaking

Barack Obama loves war. 

Leaders lead.  They don't crawl at the feet of military contractors who spend millions lobbying to secure billions more in our tax dollars.  Billions more for useless war and destroyed lives. 

How many members of Congress will "honor the fallen" this weekend?  Do you think you can fit another hypocritical flag-waving graveside photo shoot in or are you too busy playing golf with Lockheed Martin execs? 

Lockheed Martin's Memorial Day Message:

"On Monday, Americans everywhere will pause to remember all those who have given their lives so that we – and untold generations to follow – may live in freedom.  We owe these patriots, and all those serving in the armed forces today, our eternal gratitude for defending the sacred principles upon which this nation was founded.
We know that you will join us this Memorial Day in honoring the service and sacrifice of our fallen heroes, and in finding ways to thank the men and women in uniform protecting us today."
