I love the idea of people existing off the excess/castoffs/waste of society.

I'm a thief (businesses and wealthy people) so we're both kind of "living off the land" so to speak but the land is society at large.

It's pretty straightforward, the MIC is essentially the structure behind and around the military, namely defense contractors, the Pentagon, and politicians. AFAIK it doesn't actually include the rank and file armed services members. It's worth mentioning the term gained popular attention due to a speech by outgoing President Dwight D. Eisenhower, himself a retired 5 star general.
