The Pentagon has a long history of budgetary waste and fraud. They’ve failed every financial audit they’ve ever had by mind-blowingly large margins. Fortunately for the war hawks the corporate media has helped the Pentagon cover up their actions. Lee Camp hates to repeat himself but this story requires it because the Pentagon keeps on pouring trillions into military violence so he shines his spotlight back onto the military industrial complex to open this episode.
President Eisenhower warned us of the misplaced power in the hands of the Military Industrial Complex in the early 1960’s.
President Kennedy warned us of Secret Societies, and he wanted to disband the CIA.
Senator Daniel Inouye repeated the recognition of a Deep State, hidden government with a military of its own, that answers to no law.
Donald Rumsfeld reported a huge loss in the military the day before 911. Apparently a few trillion could not be accounted for.
If this is the best America can offer on behalf of its people, then we have major deep-rooted problems that require a complete overhaul.
