Lainaukset muokkaa
"Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.... In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.... We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted." (Farewell Radio and Television Address to the American People. January 17, 1961. Delivered from the President's Office at 8:30 p.m.)[1]
