    After reading the Eisenhower Farewell Address (or watching the video of it), answer the following in a paragraph:

    • What is the military-industrial complex and how does it work?
    • What benefits has it provided to the nation?
    • Why should the nation be afraid of it?  What dangers does it pose?

    Remember to use specific quotes and passages from the speech in support of your answer.
