These past few years of checking out the military-industrial complex coupled with events in politics lead me to a conclusion similar to what is mentioned in the movie V for Vandetta: civil war. I've been pondering this thought for some time trying to disprove it and I came to the conclusion that the military-industrial complex is way too powerful to be swayed by politics or diplomacy that opposes it.
And I keep getting reminded by those tax cuts that remind me of one of the last kings of France who acted to better relations with the wealthy rather than help the people. Marie Antonette, his queen, got the guillotine for her actions.
Sooner or later, this will erupt and go out of control.
For those of you who don't know, the Military-Industrial Complex (phrase created by then-President Eisenhower) is referring to the triangle of power between the military, industry, and Congress. This in itself creates a kind of independent bureaucracy that tries to pursue its own agendas even if its against American policies.
