I think they were the first ones that realized that the military industrial complex was an actual being within the federal government though.

Eisenhower's brilliant farewell speech warned America against the increasing reach for power by the M-I Complex and the dangers of that. He is not given enough credit for being a very good President.

Actual "hating" had its roots in the "Beat" generation of the 50s. Became full-blown during the VietNam era of 60s-early 70s. Went to sleep some after Nixon ended the draft and the war.

It's re-emerged in the last 8 years with a vengeance.

I think it may be going to sleep soon.
