Should the fighting industry be justified?

The term military/industrial complex was first coined by outgoing President Eisenhower, former WWII 4 star general and head of SHAEF, supreme commander of the army expeditionary forces in Europe. He had the knowledge from both the military and political side to know of what he spoke. Yes, the military industry is necessary to provide the best arms to our fighting forces. No, those same industries have and use political influence to guide spending decisions, which should best be made without them.
