10. I absolutely hate this speech.

because eisenhower was as much to blame if not the person to blame for the massive military build up during the 1950's which in turn fed the MIC.

so his speech to beware of the MIC rings so hollow and ridiculous, it's amazing anyone takes it even the least bit serious.

he's also the same fool that gave the go a head for one last U2 flight over Russia before the presidential elections.

You know the one, a certain Gary Powers piloted that one.

So please, spare me the political rhetoric from the guy that profited very well from the very thing he condemned.
