Priorities must be shifted from the military-industrial complex to meeting human needs. U.S. priorities need to shift to cooperation and diplomacy and away from war.
Did you know, for example, there are more people in U.S. military bands and orchestras than there are in the entire diplomatic corps? Our priorities are misplaced.

We obviously need more bands and orchestras in the diplomatic corps. Thanks to Mr. Winkler for bringing this to our attention.

If Winkler has a problem with US military musicians, one would presume he would be irate over what happened to Jericho after the trumpets blew. One would further presume Winkler would be irate that God himself told the Israelite army (and their musicians) exactly what to do which resulted in the destruction. One should hope for Winkler’s sake that the irateness doesn’t go both ways.
