Military industrial complex is "dead"

Who knew? Living in Ireland, watching the wrong shows on television (both British and Irish), listening to the wrong radio programs and reading the wrong newspapers, I hadn't realized that the Pentagon and defense contractors were no longer controlling the US. In fact, I had been led to believe that these folks were driving our march to dominate the world.

Well, it turns out the military industrial complex is not half what it used to be.
