Sure, military industrial complex is probably the phrase you are looking for. I have no solution other than we tried our best in the US with having a civilian leader of the military, just it was impossible to foresee how much money would corrupt the entire political spectrum. All I can tell you is it’s established every society (no matter how big or small) is going to have to have some sort of defense - otherwise they will get pillaged sooner or later.
Problem is people with armies usually want to start conquests eventually… No one has figured out how to stop this through history other than having a bigger and better army
…a bigger and better army which eventually goes into an all-out war.
We had good tries with military alliances that drastically reduce the amount of soldiers required to defend the country as other countries’ soldiers are ready to join in.
The problem is, they were formed against certain forces and got stuck with that mentality. We need a democratic worldwide alliance, probably led by the United Nations officials.
