The military industrial complex is a phenomenon in which arms are developed, produced, and exported on a grand scale. As highlighted within the film Why We Fight, President Eisenhower warned the United States of the grave future of the military industrial complex. That was in his farewell address in 1961, and many things have changed since then.
