Come on, Eisenhower was provably wrong. Countless times throughout history people have suffered the worst horrors imaginable because their side was militarily weaker. So much unjust loss as someone wanted more power and took it just because they could. The truth is that military spending, benevolent and power checked leaders, and government at least capable enough to not collapse in on itself are all essential. The hard question is only how to attain these and in the right balance. Too much military spending surely will cause unnecessary suffering, too little has been proven just as capable as ending in ruin.
