Eisenhower Warned Us

Let’s take a few moments to read what President Eisenhower told us about the growth of the U.S. military in peacetime when he left office in 1961.

He certainly nailed it.  War has become one of the largest industries in the world, and the United States accounts for almost half of it. Our society features homelessness, child hunger, underfunded school systems, disintegrating infrastructure, and imminent environmental collapse.

We can do better.
