“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.”
from Eisenhower's Farewell Address, 1961; oft paraphrased as
“Beware the military-industrial complex.”
Updated by Victor Davis Hanson:
“ … Beware the military-industrial, intelligence, and investigative complex.”
from Victor Davis Hanson Diagnoses The Dying Citizen
