President Dwight Eisenhower's foreshadowing and prescience

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." --Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. I would love to know what Pres. Eisenhower saw that he warned us all about the "military-industrial complex" I think it would be fascinating. Besides war, that's what we're fighting--shutting down the feedbag for these corporations.Between their lobbying money and their ability to buy Senator's and Representative's votes AND the fact that they can claim jobs are being created or sustained AND the fact that, if you cut defense spending, you can be labeled "weak" or, worse, weak on defense and unpatriotic--what nonsense--there is a great deal in their favor. We really have to raise heck to get this changed. We have to understand what we're up against.
