Frank Zappa was #based.
When a reporter for the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command interviewed Frank Zappa for the Command's news syndicate, the story was held by a superior who demanded that #Zappa—who had been rather hard on the #Army—answer one more question: just who does he think will defend the country without the Army?
Zappa's reply: "From what? The biggest threat to America today is its own federal #government Will the Army protect anybody from the #FBI? The #IRS? The #CIA? The #Republican party? The #Democratic party? . . . The biggest #dangers we face today don't even need to sneak past our billion-dollar #defense system they issue the contracts for them."
The interview was not run.
