In this August, 'Pentagon' has been the quite hot issue
in the pages of IHT. And here are some collections of articles.
Even if you are not interested it's better to read the
very first piece at least.
IHT: The Pentagon, Not Congress or the President, Calls the Shots
http://www.iht.com/articles/28442.html Date: 01-08-06
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But Congress is the key to the problem. Over the past half-century
the Pentagon has salted military installations or manufacturers into
almost every congressional district. Voters profit from the military
contracts and jobs. The military gets from Congress what it wants,
and often more than it wants.
.
The Bush effort to reform the Pentagon may offer the last chance for
reform, but Congress will decide whether the effort succeeds. The
military is already the most powerful institution in American
government, in practice largely unaccountable to the executive
branch. Now the armed forces are setting the limits of American
foreign policy.
.
The United States is not yet 18th-century Prussia, when the military
owned the state, but the threat is more serious than most Americans
realize.

And four relevant articles followed the above one...
IHT: Pentagon Reform?
http://www.iht.com/articles/29874.html Date: 01-08-21
IHT: Europe and America Have a New Dance to Learn
http://www.iht.com/articles/29867.html Date: 01-08-21
IHT: Rumsfeld Hits Roadblocks
http://www.iht.com/articles/28728.html Date: 01-08-08
IHT: A Balanced Way Out of the Pentagon's Deadlock
http://www.iht.com/articles/28442.html Date: 01-08-06
And this is the only one discussed something about 'arms control'
- the subject area totally missed from past 60 years of human history
also from Peace Studies and Peace movements.
IHT: NATO's Military Debates Should Be About Arms Reductions
http://www.iht.com/articles/28642.html Date: 01-08-08
But no matter how - whoever - calls for Arms Reduction (
conversion) Pentagon and major arms industries/producing nations
won't react. So, major reform of military enterprise would be
only available through the actual experience/happenning of
large accident/defeat - major/significant loss.
