Concern trolls are going to concern troll.

I see this corporatists allegations, and raise the military industrial complex that Eisenhower famously warned of.

The military industrial complex in America is a vast public jobs program.

Parts for the F 35 fighter are made in every state: https://www.f35.com/f35/about/economic-impact.html

Other countries have public healthcare with the government running hospitals.

We instead use tax dollars to pay people in every state to make weapons.

There's also NASA and a fair amount of money for medical research and computers.

But our country has been obsessed with over preparing for war since WWII.

If that's something you would like to see changed you should probably be vocal about the policies you would like to see implemented and examples of how well it's beneficial in other countries.

To simply say, the state is wrong about everything. Or all war is horrific and therefore everyone that worked in the largest jobs program in this country should pack it up and go home has zero chances of success.

Politics are complicated without trying to resort to absolutes with no room for negotiation.
