The bipartisan firm was founded in 2013 by former senior officials from the State Department, Department of Defense, and Central Intelligence Agency, and quickly had more than a dozen clients, primarily defense contractors, according to Defense News.
Philippe Reines and Andrew Shapiro, both considered part of Clintons inner circle of foreign policy advisers, are founders of the firm. Reines served as a longtime spokesperson for Clinton and Shapiro served as her assistant secretary of state for military affairs.
Eric Edelman, a former Bush administration Defense Department official, is an advisory board member to Beacon Global Strategies and a leading foreign policy adviser to Marco Rubios presidential campaign. Its mostly about defense, but Ive talked to him about the authorization of military force. Ive talked to him about the campaign against ISIS, about Russia and Ukraine. Theres not a shortage of issues right now, Edelman told Reuters. The news wire noted that that Edelman regularly briefs the senator.

In the debate she discussed regime change like it was just something we do.
When will Americans realize that we are killing innocent mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters and just creating more terrorists because they are mad at us for killing innocent family members?
How can we not understand that our solution is perpetuating the problem?
I believe the evil force here is profit above all. Our citizens should not profit from war. War should be a last resort and a sacrifice.
Take out the profit in our wars and they will end tomorrow.
Too bad we can't do it because it is the moral thing to do.
