An editor I knew at Science magazine was killed when a huge military truck backed over her during some summit in DC during the Bush years. Tons of military hardware in downtown DC then to provide security. Sure. Made me very angry.
And now more military hardware unnecessarily brought into the city has killed another pedestrian.
