President Dwight D. Eisenhower coined this term in his farewell address to refer to "a conjunction of an immense military establishment and large arms industry".
Here's how it works: our taxes support a massive military budget which is doled out to large defense contractors. These corporations use this money to buy politicians and impel the United States to enter unending wars in order to assure that their contracts never end and grow increasingly bloated.
Dick Cheney was Defense Secretary, CEO of Halliburton, and then Vice President of the United States, and is a key member of the military industrial complex. It kinda explains why Halliburton is profiteering off all these wars.

The epitome of a senior military college. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Lexington, Virginia, the Virginia Military Institute was once home to the finest military leaders serving our country since the Civil War.
The school was founded based on the principles of Cincinatus and the "Citizen Soldier" concept of societal members. Leaders in industry during peace, and leaders in combat during war. The cadets of the Virginia Military Institute were mobilized during the Civil War and marched over 80 miles from Lexington to New Market to join the ranks during the Confederate victory at that battleground.
The entire atmosphere of the school is of a spartan feel, with very little comforts in the barracks rooms, cold conrete courtyards, and stone constructed civil war era buildings. The corps of cadets forms up on the "bricks" in front of barracks for accountability formations before every meal, and typically performs two to three formal military parades per week on the post drill field.
Virginia Military Institute, the nations first state military college.

The nation's first state-supported military college, founded on November 11, 1839. It is located in the small town of Lexington, Virginia, and has been turning out leaders for every walk of life since its inception -- unlike certain other colleges located in Charleston, South Carolina. The Ratline, the initial period of cadetship for all new cadets(Rats), is generally viewed as the toughest initiation of any military college in the country. It also has the distinction of being one of only three schools in the world to have fought as a single military unit in pitched battle at the Battle of New Market on May 15, 1864.
The Virginia Military Institute is the best military school in the United States of America.

A for-profit diploma mill school that preys on active duty military and veterans. Once they dry up all of their VA funding and financial aid, they leave them high and dry with no hope of a decent job, and a lot of debt.
Guy 1- "Should you go to American Military University?"
Guy 2- "No thanks. I think I'll just go to my local community college instead. Everyone is accepted there too, but I do think I'll have to at least take the SAT."

Essentially the same thing as a vibe check, where one actor commits violence against another, but in this case the actor is the U.S. military. The U.S. military vibe checks their recruits by shooting them in the head in order to only allow the strongest and most resilient to join.
Jim: What happened to Tommy?
Joe: He failed the military vibe check.
Jim: Wow, I always knew he was one of the weaker ones.
Roblox-Military syndrome is when someone is addicted to military-training simulations on roblox, and won't stop talking about it for hours or even days in extreme cases. It is not fatal, in fact it does not cause any harm at all, in some cases it does the opposite depending on the accuracy of the simulation.
I think that they have Roblox-military syndrome.
