I'm not looking for Jingoistic responses. You think America's army can never get too big... but Iraq's can right? Double standards often astonish me.

It's strength is probably beyond measurement.
Eisenhower warned us about it , how long ago?
The "complex" is made up of the defense industry,the congress & military planners.
Lets not forget Haliburton & big oil interests.
It has increased in power in the Bush years & it's presence is now more visible than ever.
A strong national defense system is essential, however it should not be an unlimited source of govt. money for the already massive "defense industry"
As in any big business the main, goal is profit for a few who use their influence to gain political favor here & abroad to generate more profit.
In a real way the "complex" shapes Govt policies that influence world poiltics.
Their eventual goal, if they have not already achieved it ,is to
have a world governed by mega corporations.
Big brother has been doing more than watching for a long time.

There is no military industrial complex.
Most defense contracts only have one or two bidders. Some only have a single sole source. In some cases we have to go overseas to find suppliers.

The 'Military-Industrial complex' is a myth.
