"Why We Fight"

This movie was basically a whole bunch of political evidence in total non-support of the Iraq war. I saw a lot of interesting facts and details that definitely was interesting. It is basically about the forces supporting the American militia. It is also about how the military has been all too important to American life. A fact that I found really surprising was Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon—now receive among themselves over $30 billion per year in Pentagon contracts. The "military-industrial complex". Eisenhower was worried that too much intelligence, and too much business acumen in America, had become focused on the production of unnecessary weapons systems. Since his time it has only gotten worse. I don’t really know how to explain it but Eisenhower it right, and military force has only gotten stronger.
