But I have heard the term "military-entertainment complex" before. I like that term and have been fascinated by it. I should probably read that book when I get a chance. The MIC is definitely not all about tanks and fighter bombers anymore, that's for sure. The U.S. Army came out with that free first person shooter awhile back, <a href=http://www.americasarmy.com/" rel="nofollow">America's Army</a>. I have not played it and I am not sure what to make of it. Only to say how pervasive the whole complex is in our society for what its worth. Kelly,

It's all about the military-entertainment complex (the supposed next step from military-industrial), and quite fascinating. Phillip likes to make people read it, so it wouldn't surprise me if you have...save that I'm not sure when it was published, and I'm about 170 miles from the book at this moment. ;) Oh, oops – I meant to suggest/ask (but got distracted by a cat), have you read James Van der Derrian’s book “Virtual War”?

While Michael Moore can be fun in small doses, I can rarely stand hours of his pontificating. This, though, was different. It was very coolly and rationally thought out and executed. What touched me most was also a woman in the bomb factory - the same one, I think. She said she'd rather be making toys... I absolutely loved this movie.
