- jessaustin 10y ago[EDIT:] You propose something impossible. The military-industrial complex was created, and is maintained, for the obscene revenue it generates for well-placed corporations. If there were no money in it, "unnamed Pentagon sources" wouldn't lie through the media that we're in some sort of danger from rural Arab wedding guests. It's a roundabout transfer from USA taxpayers and bondholders to armaments manufacturers, not a profitable enterprise in which individual citizens might plausibly take part.
