Well, you are in disagreement with many including Eisenhower who warned against the military-industrial complex.

<<But you seem to assume that the military has some sort of an inappropriate influence in America. I don't see that to be the case. The military is an important priority, of course - but it is also totally under civilian control. In fact, many would argue that it is under too much civilian control - to the point of being micromanaged from time to time. >>> How long did it take for the civilian Press to decide we were bogged down in Iraq ? Six days of war, ten days?. And we were in trouble. Thousands of casualties expected when we have to get involved in street fighting in Baghdad. Troops running out of food and water. Remember that one? Sig
