Pre-GWOT, the NeoCons had a strong support base in conservatives.

Those conservatives went to war, fought, bled, watched their friends maimed or evaporated.

Came home & saw the NeoCons skipped the war for themselves & family but got absurdly rich.

Then started beating the drums for a repeat.

The warfighters said no more, not again.

NeoCons shocked. But this ain't rocket surgery or brain science.

This is why most progs won't survive the zombie apocalypse.

They have no idea where the things they need to survive come from.
