    I wish there was anyone in Congress who opposed this sort of thing out of an understanding of the pernicious nature of the military industrial complex. I feel like it's a perfectly reasonable position to hold to not want your country to just be three defense contractors in a trench coat.

      Why would they? There's only 535 people in Congress. Giving each of them a million dollars in "donations" every four years is basically a rounding error.
