He seems to keep on things often day to day?
He recently addressed a bunch of HS students and told them not to enlist. I have heard this before.

Col. (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson's last positions in government were as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff (2002-05), Associate Director of the State Department's Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Richard N. Haass, and member of that staff responsible for East Asia and the Pacific, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02).

Before serving at the State Department, Wilkerson served 31 years in the U.S. Army. During that time, he was a member of the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989), Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia (1993-97). Wilkerson retired in 1997 and began work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national security affairs at the George Washington University.

Also a similar topic. Mark is former USN then London School of Econ  and not a military expert but has good access to Russian sources. Andrei is former USSR navy and has written books on current military. Real grumpy.

Wilkerson obviously is an acolyte of the Smedley Butler school...I can disagree with him an some issues but not too much....

We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
