Lupo if you gave any credence to the spheres of influence that were created by the signings of the surrenders at the end of WW2 you would not even be talking about 'need to blame' The rolling of the 'Iron Curtain' around the once sovereign nations of Middle and Eastern Europe had nothing to do with a Military/Industrial Complex. It had everything to do with the expansionist aims of Imperial Russia in the guise of a proletariat democracy, Joke Ha Ha. Actually the aims of the International Communist Party as utilized by Lenin's heir, Stalin. Remember the sequence of events: The partition of Berlin and the North Korean drive into South Korea, The Berlin Blockade, Truman had plenty on his plate to deal with and an MIC or any other semblance of a scapegoat was the least of his worries. And then along comes the War Hero, Ike.
Every body liked Ike. Except Kruschev. He said "we will bury you." He was referring to the vile capitalists in America.
I could go on and bore you to tears. Worry about the MIC is a waste of time in my opinion. There are more than enough scapegoats to blame for anything one might cogitate about.
