I highly recommend the documentary “Why We Fight”, a film by Eugene Jarecki which won the 2005 Sundance Grand Jury Award. President Eisenhower in his farewell address to the nation warned us about the military-industrial complex, and this movie explores that theme in a pretty well-balanced manner. As one who has worked in the military-industrial complex, I know all too well how tightly the Pentagon, the defense contractors and Congress work together to advance their own parochial interests at the expense of the rest of the American public. This film ought to make you thoughtful, and very uneasy.
