    There was a report written decades ago claiming that the US economy will collapse if military spending stops or slows. Some people might really believe that.

      I have no insights there but I mean, yeah, it is a enormous apparatus so a large part of the American economy relies on it. I doubt the entire economy would crash but the distribution of work and wealth would change dramatically. And those affected negatively would obviously not like it to be slightly less super wealthy elite.
