After the massive industrial build up to supply the Allies for WW2 they had to find a way to keep the money train running thru the pentagon to the big corporations. Gotta build more bombers than the commies, gotta build better and more tanks, don't forget all the nuclear missiles and bombs. Build bases all over the world as staging points in case of war. Shit, don't forget we have to give all our 'allies' lots of weapons and training so the can help keep the commies at bay. The US tax payers don't mind.
During Vietnam it was common to see troops with "Kill a Commie for Christ" written on their helmets or body armor.
