There was a time in America when everyone you knew had served, was currently serving, or planning on serving. Mom worked in the factories building the machines Dad would fly. Sister worked in the textile mills that clothed Brother as he fought on foreign shores. Every aspect of American life was beholden to the strive for military dominance in a world at war. It was a complex time but also surprisingly simple in outlook. Outproduce, outfight, outthink the enemy. The whole nation came together for that grand purpose and its results are the world we live in today. A world where the United States of America is undeniably the world's premier superpower. Hegemon, king of kings. And the American MIC makes sure it stays that way.
America the land of the free that oppresses everyone else. I come from the land down under and a while back when one of our politicians wanted to make Australia more independent and free, he was assassinated by the CIA
10 years ago I worked on Eagles for a living. Earlier this year I started at LM working on some fast jets. While it wasn't the sole reason, your ever so lovely video helped push me to apply for the job. Just wanted to let you know your content has an impact.
Depends on your quals getting out. I'm working at the equivalent of a 5 lvl right now. The equivalent of a 7lvl makes more. Its got some decent opportunities and benefits as well. the pay is only one part of the package. The work is ironically easier than expected, but my experience in mil was harder than what the younger people today seem to go through. Maybe thats just a stateside vs overseas thing. Id rather not get into specifics unless we go to DM's or something.

I love the military industrial complex speech I first heard it in full-ish from the mod Enclave Reborn Redux, these videos are perfect to accompany the game about rebuilding American military MIGHT
At this point whenever I see someone complain about the Military Industrial Complex I just laugh in their face and exclaim, "yeah, sure! While we're at it lets double the defense budget."
One of the best edits you've made, amazing how much you've improved from where you started (which was already very good). Your channel gets nowhere near enough attention
Somebody came to talk to my school today about how war is bad and that they protested the Vietnam War. Interesting stuff. …Anyway, can I get a job at Lockheed Martin?
Goddamn, its always amazing what you and the MIC cook up. Really wished we in europe would make our own big one, just imagine: TWICE the crazy shit!!!!
@@thebadlander3608 join the United States military for it, want free healthcare? Join the military, free social services? *JOIN THE MILITARY* SEXTUPLE THE DEFENSE BUDGET
@@thebadlander3608 Unironically, quintupling the defense budget would actually make food more affordable. The unfortunate truth is that America was never as excellent economically as it was during high militarization. No, see, it's the WAR part that makes food pricey. Right now we're watching the collapse of the Pax Americana because tyrants think they smell blood in the water. In reality, all that's happened, is that we've forgotten the threat enemies of liberty possess. All the inflation we've seeing is 100% the fault of the erosion of peace and liberty.
Remember the 34th and 35th Rule of Acquisition: War/Peace is good for business Do we have a defense spending problem? Probably, but at least no one has thought to try and invade us since the 50s
When Eisenhower made that fateful speech, over 65% of the American GDP was spent purely on the Military. This happened as a result of the US unpreparedness for the Korean War and the subsequent re-arming that needed to take place to get us out of the Post World War II slump we had fallen into. I don’t believe the vast majority of people that quote Eisenhower’s speech actually understand that fact and how it really has very little to do with the MIC of today, which contrary to popular belief isn’t actually a gateway to infinite cash and actually has quite a low payout compared to stuff like Social Media.
I've you've never listened to 'Eye In The Sky' by Alan Parsons, I think you'll enjoy it creatively. It is much slower, however. The footage is there, though. u know what I mean.
You know anything about Battletech, and how the Lyran commonwealth is so powerful because they have more money and industry than anyone else? Which is why it's a meme about them 'scouting' with a full lance of assault mechs? IRL, that's the US. That's us.
No way it's my stock portfolio
Thank you for your service.
LMAO
frfr 💀
you are actively contributing to the destruction of humanity
hey should I invest 25 bucks into Lockheed Martin
Always love it when Index uses ABBA in his videos.
He always finds the right song
Two ideas I came up with. Intelligence community edit to private eyes and nuclear triad edit to its the end of the world as we know it.
Drones to Electic Eye by Judas Priest would be good too!

What’s the pay like if you don’t mind me asking? Currently working on 35s and always looking at options for when I get out

I love how you're able to take upbeat music like this and make it fit so well with scenes of war machines and footage
To be fair, said war machines are undeniably awe-inspiring in their effectiveness.
These edits have reminded me that there is more to America than politics.
God bless the MIC
I have a feeling that this will be one of the best so far.
It is. The

One of the best edits you've made, amazing how much you've improved from where you started (which was already very good). Your channel gets nowhere near enough attention
I'm impressed you made a 5:45-long video that was phenomenal for EVERY second.
Triple the defense budget!
I'm definitely not saying that just because I'm a DoD worker and want a raise.
hardest edit of all time. had the opposite effect on me, triple the defense budget NOW
love your work man. Nobody makes videos like these better then you.
as a european, this is way cooler than free healthcare
If war is bad? Then why is it so profitable
another upload, fuck yeah!!
(very gud vid) I was at work and missed the premiere :(
Going to be the greatest hits of ABBA
Type shit makes me think about reenlisting 😂😁
do it
