Homo Viator

Don’t worry this blog shall not become a platform for lefty propaganda. I just think that the following speech, on the Military-Industrial-Complex, is worth listening to. After all, Dwight D. Eisenhower was a Republican president. And it comes from an ex-general and not just any. He was the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944-45. In 1949 he became the first supreme commander of NATO. Considering that this president had more military experience than any other president of the USA, his cautious speech remains a significant reflection on inter-military forces. I do not want to comment on it but think that this speech will only gain in importance in decades to come.
