Former generals and elected officials are flooding the airwaves to demand the US continue its occupation of Afghanistan, without disclosing their ties to the defense companies that have profited handsomely from the war or having to answer for the decisions they made that prolonged the conflict. TRNN’s Jaisal Noor sits down with Sarah Lazare of In These Times to discuss the role the media and military-industrial complex play in building support for and justifying endless war. Lazare is a web editor and reporter for In These Times and has written extensively about the US military-industrial complex, including two recent articles, “We Can’t Let the Generals Who Lied About the Afghanistan War Define Its Legacy,†and “Military Contractor CACI Says Afghanistan Withdrawal Is Hurting Its Profits. It’s Funding a Pro-War Think Tank.â€

The powerful people in business and government and the media, don't care if you expose their agenda, they don't care what the public thinks, they are in control, we will do as we are told , nothing will change. The withdrawal from Afghanistan is only a temporary setback for the military industrial complex , they will incite other conflicts, and the blood and the money will flow again.
Same thing happened in Vietnam.
How in the world did it take the most powerful army in history fight a bunch of cave dwellers for 20 years.
What percentage of our countrys economy depends on it.
Truth…
Switch to building tractors.
War is a racket. Smedley Butler told us a 100 years ago :/
Trump ended wars..Unlike bushs clintons obama Xiden
This total bunk.
The US is now in the business of losing wars because it is not profitable to win them.
Cops do not work for the public they work for Satans asshole "Government n Big Corporations".all for revenue and to fill up the jails n prisons again for revenue. Big money". In doing so they are allowed to rape take and murder anyone they choose. There's no such thing as a good cop
Any funding from Congress should've been preceded by "we want results NOW not 20 years later"!!So Congress,is part of the problem due to finding the military contractors without ANY obligations or results!
Corrupt American capitalism, supporting the USAs biggest export, death, destruction, misery, lies, decite, do i need to go on? Evil is the description.
Don’t forget about John McCain
Those first three have to be the biggest idiots of all!
A good chunk of the Military Industrial Complex IS corporate media, and they are trying their best to sell the narrative that not only was this withdrawal disastrous, but wrongheaded.
Anticipate the 'War On Terror' to ramp up. They've already 'activated' ISIS K, i.e. the CIA & Mossad.
what would the armchair types do in the absence of a military complex?
There will be some event used as a catalyst for another war somewhere.
