I agree. I think Military Keynesianism is a bad economic policy.

I have seen lots of articles that discuss wasteful DoD spending. But I see very few that discuss __why__ the DoD spends money this way. And why it continues. This type of spending is not a new phenomenon.

To me these "why" questions are the most important and intellectually interesting aspects of these issues. But they are often ignored.
