Title: The Military Industrial Complex--Misson Creep
Review: One cannot help but realize the "fantasy" that surrounds the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) and the operative theories used to support the institutions of war. Top level personnel have long forgotten the history and constitutional constraints placed on a democracy in using power to affect more than domestic issues.Terms such as LRC, MRC, OOTW, and political support by the DoD to suit particular political objectives is nothing more than over reach by the Pentagon. The pentagon should be focused on constraint (last resort), relevance, and efficacy as opposed to "Shock and Awe." The authors envision a military mission that can do anything--irrespective of constitutional constraints. For example, the constitution explicitly forbids the formation of a "permanent" army. The framers of the constitution understood that standing armies where the instruments of tyrants.
