Eisenhower warned Americans about the military-industrial complex in his farewell address in 1961 because he believed that the close relationship between the military and defense contractors could lead to excessive spending and an undue influence on national policy. He feared that this alliance could prioritize military interests over social needs and democratic values, potentially leading to an arms race and unnecessary conflicts. Eisenhower's warning aimed to promote vigilance among citizens to ensure that the military's interests did not overshadow the nation's democratic principles and well-being.
