Hitler once said that for the good of the German people, there should be a war every 20 years.
What a repulsive and disgusting comment! But our neocon/Deep Staters are advocating the very same thing. They just use more polite language.
And now a word from some guy who was definitively not a 60’s hippie:
“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.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Eisenhower was going to call this new animal the “military-industrial-congressional complex,” which most would agree today is a pretty accurate description of the system since it includes all the players. But the outgoing president, apparently worried about political blowback, deleted “congressional,” “
Clemenza said that they needed to go to the mattresses, "These things gotta happen every five years or so, ten years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood." In polite society we call it term limits, I think.
