excerpt: Today, and in fact, for much of our recent history, our governments in the Western world have been controlled by an unseen hand. Most of us have been aware of some aspect of this hidden hand, but cannot identify who moves its fingers and controls its actions. This hidden hand goes by many names; among the more prominent being the shadow government, the iron triangle or, more accurately, the military-industrial complex. So it is necessary to now take a look back at the history and role that the military-industrial complex has played in all our lives, and continues to play today. It was on January 17, 1961, that President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his farewell address to the nation, in which he coined this term and gave a stern and necessary warning to the American people. His use of the term ‘military-industrial complex’ was in reference to describing the intimate relationship between the military establishment, the political structure and the defense industry. In his speech, Eisenhower stated: This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

Now I know what Obama meant by HOPE & CHANGE in 2008. "I HOPE Americans are stupid enough to believe that I am going to CHANGE any of George Bush's policies."

Think about it - All these troops coming home....No work for them.....Bad for the unemployment stats - they need jobs. Some will return to their old jobs as required by law, some had no jobs t begin with is why they joined, others will be used for the remaining, in country, home land defense against domestic terrorists.......I think it will be to keep order after ECO collapse, the solar storms and Earthquakes that are soon to happen......

Ummm yep and I do believe there is funding to increase our number of active troops by 100,000 for the National Police Force, correct? My op friends tell me the actual number of this nation's enlisted, is roughly 10 million. Many of those hidden away in BSA.

Probably Halliburton and KBR (Kellogg Brown Root) Always the same crowd. Maybe some Raytheon on the side? Didn't read link, I am sure when I do it will be the usual crowd. What people forget is the bill declares homeland "battleground/battlefront" this will mean us even on the internet. The DOD released the internet and still controls it it was called DARPANET, the public side is ARPANET. Do not forget this, all it will take is an executive order to rope it back in, and they will use it as a tool. Nobody will complain at first until people are arrested for their opinions...or censorship...perhaps both???...Another 1984 milestone.
