We have Hitler, Stalin and Mao to thank for the MIC

Create threats and boogeymen and the war machine keep on cranking.

Rich becomes richer. Elite becomes Eliter.

The contractors pump the oil in the war machine to keep it spinning smoothly. The Congress is but a cog of the MIC.

Look at all the people whining that Biden brought the 20 year war against Afghanistan to an end.

Well that's why I said this: "Create threats and boogeymen and the war machine keep on cranking."

Naturally some of them might be a threat but the MIC overinflate the extent of those threats.

Why? Profit. We can see that during WW2. At least it brought us modern technology.

Reminds me of the concept of planned obsolescence.

but in your post, you missed the two main things..........the executive allows those hyped up threats for power acquisition and you ignore those in elected office who profit from those exaggerated threats...........but then I might guess that it's because you refuse to acknowledge the corruption of your democrats like you accuse republicans

Nothing in my OP is about the Democrats, Republicans and the elected officials.
 
I really hate the connotation most people apply to the word elite.

Elite is good. People become elite on merit. We want the elite, not the scrubs, where performance is required.

Some people like to toss rocks at any head that stands out among the crowd.
They, more than anyone else, are usually the ones who need a good stoning.

All participants of the cold war created the MIC for war profiteers.
The cold war was never more than an excuse for both sides to persecute internal dissidents--

we probably did more of it than the Soviets--remember the House Unamerican Activities Committee?--blacklisting?--the Rosenberg executions?--

and to create wealth for oligarchs through the MIC.

Hitler? Stalin? Mao?
Look closer to home. Our biggest criminals are smart enough not to get famous. Just rich.
