February 18 Johnson, author of the prophetic national bestseller "Blowback," reminds us of the classic warnings against militarism—from George Washington's farewell address to Dwight Eisenhower's denunciation of the military-industrial complex- that have roots deep in our past. A vivid look at the new caste of professional warriors who have infiltrated multiple branches of government, and for whom the manipulation of the military budget is of vital interest.
