This is nothing new, Eisenhower warned about the industrial military complex, if you think it through Ronald Reagan who is viewed as a hero by many actually commited treason by selling arms to Iran who at that time was an enemy of the US in order to back the anti Sandinista Contras, now the Sandinistas are just ok with the US, the same can be said for many of the things Clinton did, so I think this is not a party or political stance thing it is a war between the haves and the have nots and the haves are winning by far because the have nots are easily deluded.
