My only problem with this image is the money is being fed to a soldier, not a general or military political advisor, the people who end up with the real money.
He's wearing a gold cuirass
I think the “soldier” in the image represents exactly that, the MIC/War Machine, not just a soldier. I’ve seen this cartoon many times and always assumed the intent was the military soaking up tons of money.
I will leave this quote from Eisenhower’s “A Chance For Peace” speech.
Ive never heard of this speech but very good read, thanks for sharing
This was USSR, so it is possible.
