This documentary builds on Eisenhower's warnings about the impact of the military industrial complex on our democracy. He feared that if the American public did not oppose the forces of this force that builds the weapons of war that leads to the empire-building efforts of the United States, our democracy will fail. Chalmers Johnson has continued to press our nation to attend to the consequences of our growth in building an empire throughout the world.
"Why We Fight" is a great documentary that makes all the books come even more real. It is a serious indictment of our nation's involvement in war. The Pentagon is driven by forces deep into the fabric of our society, seldom known to most Americans.
