And, given your seemingly unscientific inclination to take some things for granted, I suspect you disagree with Eisenhower, too:

“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.”

- President Eisenhower, January 1961

Said after disclosing to one of his military assistants that he realized he'd lost control over the UFO technology stuff.
