So in order to preserve American hegemony is find a dorky girl and pump out high quality cannon fodder... LOL (I'm not serious, my kids will not be willing to join the military to fight these trash wars to inflate the MIC and their political stoolpigeons.)

It still blows my mind that people don't believe the MIC is real. I've been laughed at every time I brought this up. Like... dude, you can even look it up on Wikipedia. LOL! 🤣 People REALLY are terrified to acknowledge the existence of internal domestic threats. 🤷♂️
Yes. I do believe that's what got Kennedy offend, too.
Amongst other things but, yea.
Eisenhower even publicly warned us about the MIC.
Yup and he sure the heck knew. I think they offed Patton, too.
And most people don't know about Smedley Butler!
Eisenhower played it smart. Told the public as a means of self-defense. What happened to Smedley Butler?
Too much to write about here.
Hmmmm...
Short version: Big general retires. Bigwigs tried to recruit him to lead a coup, which was ready to go, with manpower and weapons.
Here in the US. And it probably would have worked. He blew the whistle.
It's been pretty hushed up since.
It requires trust to establish systems of control.
When that trust is broken, the system remains and the groups who violate that trust remain in power.
