Out of all cultures or ways to govern, from corrupt dictatorship to totalitarian ideologies, religious or not, our Western civilization must be the most destructive and dangerous of them all.
On Jan. 17, 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower gave the nation a dire warning about what he described as a threat to democratic government.
He called it the military-industrial complex, a formidable union of defense contractors and the armed forces.
Eisenhower, a retired five-star Army general, the man who led the allies on D-Day, made the remarks in his farewell speech from the White House.
Eisenhower used the speech to warn about "the immense military establishment" that had joined with "a large arms industry."
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. - Dwight D. Eisenhower"
