Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his farewell address to the nation, January 17, 1961, cautioned that, "We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex...", and continued to say that, "Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
How many of us learned about the relationship by industry and the military in high/secondary school?
