Ya - it's in the HuffPost - but I think President Eisenhower really had the measure of the situation way back then.

I'm not so worried about the military industrial complex (perhaps I should be) as it pays for the food on my table and the roof over my head.  But I'm not so worried about that as I am bothered and worried about this.....

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

One of the most profound speeches of our time.

America spends more on defense than the rest of the next top 20 countries combined. 

The tonage of the U.S. Navy is more than that of the next 17 countries combined.

Not a comentary....just an observation.
