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
