@BeschlossDC @blueskiesatx clear to successors & has effectively neutered every sitting president since.
@BeschlossDC @blueskiesatx MIC; fairly chicken shit imo. JFK had the cojones to act, costing him his life. The message was+

@BeschlossDC Good thing we as a country heeded his warning... Oh, wait... Damn
If anyone could see a growing danger in America's "Military-Industrial Complex" it's probably our greatest military-president. @BeschlossDC
@BeschlossDC I love these gems. Thanks
@BeschlossDC Perfectly describes the entire Republican Party & their funding machine & about one-third of Dems. The last good Republican
.@BeschlossDC @kee_neow absolutely no one more credible to critique "MIC' than a Commander in Chief + former 5 star general
@idannyb @BeschlossDC Remarkably prescient.
@BeschlossDC We didn't listen, & he was so right. We're now in a "1984" state of constant war, or near war, with ever shifting allies & foes
@BeschlossDC @SanhoTree lol "civil authority over the military establishment"... We wish
.@BeschlossDC "peace-oriented economy"...I think that was left behind

@BeschlossDC MIC = a most pernicious bipartisanship. Nearly there - all guns, no butter.
@BeschlossDC @robneyer Guess we didn't watch carefully enough. Now media-industrial complex same grave dangers too
