The complex : how the military invades our everyday lives / by Turse, Nick.(CARDINAL)487493;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-275) and index.Introduction: A day in the life -- Kicking it old school -- The iron triangle -- The military-academic complex -- The military-petroleum complex -- Global landlord -- Today's corporate bedfellows -- Starbucks goes to Gitmo, iPods in iRaq -- These boots are made for killing -- A sneak peek at the military-telecom complex -- The military-doughnut complex -- The high life -- How the waste was won -- La dolce vita war on terror -- That's entertainment -- Six billion movies and no separation -- A virtual world of war -- Pimp my Pentagon -- The complex goes recruiting -- An army of (no) one -- The militarization of MySpace -- The dirty dozen -- The mad, mad world of the military -- The Pentagon goes golfing -- Patriotic pork -- Stars and hype -- The military-corporate-conference complex -- Weaponizing the future -- Living weapons labs -- The wild weapons of DARPA -- Captain DARPAmerica -- Baghdad, 2025 -- Complex conclusions -- The homeland security state -- Bibliographic essay.Here is the new, hip, high-tech military-industrial complex--an omnipresent, hidden-in-plain-sight system of systems that penetrates all our lives. From iPods to Starbucks to Oakley sunglasses, historian Nick Turse explores the Pentagon's little-noticed contacts (and contracts) with the products and companies that now form the fabric of America. Turse investigates the remarkable range of military incursions into the civilian world: the Pentagon's collaborations with Hollywood filmmakers; its outlandish schemes to weaponize the wild kingdom; its joint ventures with the World Wrestling Federation and NASCAR. He shows the inventive ways the military, desperate for new recruits, now targets children and young adults, tapping into the "culture of cool" by making "friends" on MySpace. We are a long way from Eisenhower's military-industrial complex: this is its twenty-first-century progeny.--From publisher description.

The photos and text tell the story from the perspective of both U.S. veterans who served in the conflict, and the Koreans who prospered from the freedom left in their wake. Beginning with the events that led up to the war, through the ensuing battlefields across the Korean Peninsula, and ultimately the transformation from a war-torn country into a vibrant, prosperous nation, this book encapsulates why freedom is worth fighting for. To this day, the people of the Republic of Korea honor those brave veterans who served and sacrificed on their behalf. A reborn Korea is one that has risen from the rubble of war to be an economic world leader and a prized example of how freedom works. This is a story of a war remembered."--Dust jacket flap.The Remembered War: While the Korean War is often referred to as the "forgotten war," this 60-minute feature documentary remembers and honors the men and women who fought, suffered, and sacrificed for a war-torn, distant land in desperate need of freedom. Amidst the backdrop of rarely-seen archive footage from the Korean War, veterans share their stories, recollections, and thoughts about the Korean War 60 years later.--Publisher.
