Some comments on Militarism and Miseducation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Clearly, the exorbitant amount of military expenditures is not for
legitimate defense purposes. That is, unless we decide that
legitimacy is defined by a Spartan devotion to war and a sort of
paranoid hypochondria. In fact, much of the defense spending our
government now undertakes is done not out of verifiable defense concerns but to line the pockets of defense contractors, and to
insure world domination by and the profitability of business
interests outside the military sphere.
