You've done a great job so far of contributing to this page! The modern examples of this military-industrial complex are great, but can definitely be expanded upon. Try to showcase the amount of spending that was contributed to the complex by each President you've mentioned. Maybe even highlight what things are being purchased or funded by these subsidies. Also, you may want to conceptualize what makes this a "complex" as some people may not be familiar with that idea. but altogether great job Tim! Bricci13 (talk) 19:16, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

I guess I'd like to know a lot more about what Obama and Trump bought with the funds. Also, the MIC suggests more than just military spending. It argues that there is a public-private network that promotes greater military. You might look at the growth in the size of military contractors or the number of people in Obama or Trump's administration with military ties. Finally, the article needs more citations to scholarship - books or articles. Cassell04 (talk) 01:37, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

You've picked a good topic! I've always been interested in the Armed Forces and what our defense budget is really comprised of. I think you should itemize the budget into sections and perhaps look deeper into which branches get what and how they plan to spend it. What operations are we currently invested in? What are our interests and what private firms are integrated into the war machine? Throw some visual aids in there and you'll have yourself a good article. Good start!

Unbiased with plenty of sources - I can't fault you there. It could use more detail, and more content in general, but what is already there is good. As for the article as it is - the vast majority is taken up by the Etymology. There is little on the military-industrial complex in present day, additionally. I can see you are working on this. Perhaps adding to the post-cold war military section?

I like how your wrote the start to your article. The only things I would say is add some more specifics and information about the funding and how it was used. Maybe find another source to help with that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavinbbly (talk • contribs) 21:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
