The ultimate triumph of the military industrial complex is that we now have a generation of Americas who as often as not seem to see no problem whatsoever with the outsize influence of defense contractors on our military policy...and military budget.

It’s not just people in other countries affected by this corruption. First it’s money siphoned off from domestic spending, plus last year’s model of equipment - constantly & unnecessarily replaced - is then sent home to local police forces, thus the militarization of our police.

Actually, this generation is aware of this and take issue with it. It was boomers that were(are) blind and didn't see the problem.

But keep bashing trump, the only president in my lifetime who didn’t start a war. You’re not that bright, ms. “love & light.”

And many will rush to defend the military and spending outrageous amounts on it, and then freak out at the proposition of $2k checks for every American. Think of how brainwashed you have to be to prefer your taxes go to killing machines rather than back in your pocket.
