Okay how about this. Who gets the biggest chunk of the US budget every year since 1942? What did Dwight D. Eisenhower (a five star general and president - so he should know) warn about when he left the presidency? "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex."

Do you really think that any US president can do anything he or she wants if it is in direct 'opposition' to this massive industry?
