Is the thirty-five year long war on drugs an example of the Military Industrial Complex gone awry?
Is the US incarceration rate being the highest in the world just a symptom of the MIC, or is it part of the wider corporate problem of creating sources of tax money to mine?
How much has the war on drugs cost?
Only if you want to define military as something that it is not. The drug war has nothing to do with the military industrial complex. That is another animal altogether. The military industrial complex is specific. It is responsible for the fact that we have an international presence almost everywhere even when it does not progress our goals and that we have a MASSIVE DOD budget.
