Here is the DOJ press release.
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

I live in Rhode Island. Our senator reed is head of the armed services committee. We have Avery large defense industry here. You’d be shocked at the amount of corruption and waste. When I was a teen I worked one summer on the sea bee naval base. Between the federal money and state money pouring in even as a kid I could not believe the waste. They would send a bunch of us - 7 people - out with one mower to mow a 1/4 acre and say make it last all day. Worst job I ever had. There was a 30 minute coffee break before work started. Then coffe break at 10, lunch at 12, another break at 2:30. And each time we’d take the trucks back to the main facility which was often 20 min away on this large base. It was my first experience with govt waste. I could have mowed in by myself in 30 min.

I have a buddy who works for Raytheon. He sends me pics of the Woke Bullshit programs they have. It's incredible. One would think those awful companies would, at the absolute least, not be filled with "Native Americans 2 Spirit Appreciation Day!" brochures. But you'd be very, very wrong. They are on the bleeding edge of that shit.
It truly is the meme of poor foreigners getting bombed to shit, but then the next frame they're also being bombed but there's a pride or trans flag on the bomb so it's ok.
