A prophetic warning against the potential influence of a vast armaments industry |
|
|
|
During a live television broadcast on 17 January, 1961, President Dwight David Eisenhower delivered his final public speech whilst in office. His speech was best remembered for warning his country against the "grave implications" that a growing military establishment and armaments industry poses vis-à-vis the economic, political and spiritual influence on the American way of life; a neologism he coined the "military-industrial complex". |
