Hi Don!
Y'know in delving into sociological 'research' into the MIC and the alleged effect on America, I'm repeatedly struck by the way the military establishment is viewed as populated by the 'other': those that would somehow corrupt the American Way of Life. Yet everyone in the military or contractor world I've ever known well enough to know their thoughts or attitudes on the topic always view the Way of Life as the the thing they are working to preserve, and universally, all of them know that no matter what their involvement, eventually they will retire/move on out of the defense biz and reenter what they perceive is the mainstream of the Way of Life. I note here, that conversely sociologists,most academics in many other disciplines, and politicians seem to always operate from the premise that they will always view America from whatever insulated perch they're squatting on at the time.
