"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes." --Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, his last speech before leaving office. To which I reply, "Oops, too late."
