"...A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment.
Our arms must be might, ready for instant action, so that no potential
aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. . . . American
makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as
well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national
defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry
of vast proportions. . . . This conjunction of an immense military
establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American
experience. . . .Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave
implications. . . . 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..."
