How much is military Keynesianism an artifact of World War II
technology?  Back then military hardware took a good number of
blue-collar workers produce.  Factories were spread about.

Today, the labor component (even including the technical personnel) is
relatively small.  In addition, the factories are not as evenly spread
out.  Finally, with an open economy, more and more of the buying power
will spill over into imports.

Rather than seeing cruise missile diplomacy as a reflection of military
Keynesianism, doesn't it make more sense to see it has a way of building
corporate support?
