Cheney is perhaps the epitome of a Deep State Warmonger MIC (Military Industrial Complex) asshole.

He was the Vice President for GW Bush, and turned the role into a very powerful role (was formerly a very weak role) that also seemed to be very lucrative for him and his friends. In many ways he was a "Co-President" with GWB, and some would argue was "the real President", since those people would argue that GWB is just ... not smart.

Also, he was CEO of Halliburton prior to accepting the VP role, and then we went to Afghanistan and Iraq and it was such a coincidence how many government contracts were won for those operations by Halliburton. Such a coincidence.
