seems to have forgotten about nukeing japan, despite our military prowess as 'what ended' WWII

but it's ok when WE do it

we had great generals, and Eisenhower said it best:

"Beware the military/industrial complex."

from an article in Politico 2019 quoting Eisenhower....(wonder what the say now)

politico.com

“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. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”
