Military-Industrial Complex

President Trump's remarks about the military-industrial complex are not unprecedented.

TRUMP: "I'm not saying the military's in love with me. The soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy" pic.twitter.com/YYEbjRuZyb

Democrats/Leftists are clueless when it comes to history.

After fighting a brutal war & then serving eight years as US President, here was Dwight Eisenhower's 1961 warning about the menacing joint power of the US military and the private arms industry. This was before Vietnam, the Reagan Cold War build-up and post-9/11 militarism: pic.twitter.com/IRl8ZTdpIo

Trump's words today about the military industrial complex's power in the Pentagon evoke Eisenhower's warning of same in his 1961 farewell address. Worth rereading today as that complex run its information op. https://t.co/Di8V4oZxLS

The Democrats/Leftists used to rail against the military-industrial complex.

Now, they've abandoned that to rail against everything President Trump says and does.
