There are many Freepers and many patriotic Americans who are part of “the military/industrial complex” who would appreciate it if you would not keep parroting 1960’s leftist propaganda and talking points.

There are customers and there are contractors who run businesses to exercise capitalism, meet customer needs, and make a profit for the owners or share holders. Please direct your comments to the source of the problem, the government customer who misuses/abuses your hard earned tax dollars. Unless the contractor is trying to be fraudulent, then it’s the customer who is responsible for the products use.

That capitalistic military industrial complex you criticize is what helped our soldiers win WWII, provided the best equipment in the world to me when I served, and has been mostly dedicated to saving our soldiers lives and making the “other poor dumb bastard die for his country” since.

I can build and sell you the best rifle in the world but if you choose to turn it over to your enemy how can I prevent that stupidity?
