I don't have any facts regarding what Eishenhower may have been doing to combat the MIC while in office, but since there isn't really a whole lot of evidence to support any kind of fight, I've always thought that that was a pretty chickenshit move. Wait until the last day he had any power...then leave us a parting gift of 'Keep an eye on these guys making war planes, tanks and bombs'.
Yeah that's fair.
Better than nothing though. Maybe he sensed what happened to jfk like three years later could happen if he said anything sooner and wanted to keep his brains in his head.
