“This has been building since the fall of the Soviet Union.....”The end of the Cold War was the worst thing to ever happen to the Military Industrial Complex.......”The ‘Peace Dividend’ meant a massive loss of expected profits and a huge loss of stock valuation. “

A very Leftist view that the defense manufacturers control Congress and create wars for their financial benefit. B.S.

Was Dwight Eisenhower a Leftist?

Maybe it is just a realistic view of profit seeking.

It is a fact of capitalism that manufactures will seek new markets for their goods.

I don’t blame the arms manufacturers.

I blame the politicians that take their money and do their bidding.
